Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson as read by William J. Welch
G.I. Gurdjieff/William J. Welch

Dr. Welch attended Gurdjieff's death in 1949. He later became an active member of the Gurdjieff Foundation of New York and served as its president from 1984 until his death in 1997. In 1992, a few people close to him approached him about the possibility of making a recording of Beelzebub's Tales. His reading is not always exact, but the richly textured quality of his voice conveys a real sense of his genuine delight in reading this book. Dr. Welch is reading from the revised edition. These are MP3 files, formatted for playback on a computer.
