- Meetings with Remarkable Men is the second volume of the All and Everything trilogy written by the Greek-Armenian mystic G. I. Gurdjieff. A book of autobiography, it was originally published in 1963 and tells the tale of the young Gurdjieff growing up in a world torn between his unexplainable experiences and the developing modern sciences. The book takes the form of Gurdjieff's reminiscences about various "remarkable men" that he has met, beginning with his father. They include the Armenian priest Pogossian; his friend Soloviev, Prince Lubovedsky, a Russian prince with metaphysical interests, and a couple of others. In the course of describing these characters, Gurdjieff weaves their stories into the story of his own travels, and also into an overarching narrative which has them cooperate in locating spiritual texts and/or masters in various lands (mostly Central Asia). Gurdjieff calls this group the "Seekers of Truth". Most of them do in fact find "truth" in the form of some suitable spiritual destiny. The underlying philosophy, especially as articulated in an appendix, amounts to the assertion that people generally live their lives asleep, are unconscious of themselves, and accordingly behave like machines, subject to outside causes and pressures. Also, one of the chief assessments of the novel is that the people of the past epochs lived in more suitable outer conditions and at higher inner levels than the people today. Many additional hidden harmonies are noted or alluded to. These contradictory towards modern beliefs claims have inspired some to question the book's "autobiographical" character. For example, Gurdjieff claims to have first heard the Epic of Gilgamesh as an oral epic sung from memory by his father; to have made contact with various ancient brotherhoods including the Sarmoung Brotherhood; to have copied a map of "pre-sand Egypt", and to have witnessed a number of miracles and esoteric phenomena. There is currently in existence an esoteric group of loosely affiliated individuals who engage in what is called "The Work", which is the doing part of Gurdjieff's teachings. In a way it can be claimed that many of the vignettes in Meetings are meant to be symbolic, or "teaching stories".

- Encontros com Homens Notáveis é a autobiografia de G. I. Gurdjieff. Ela foi originalmente publicada em 1963. Ela conta a história de um jovem Gurdjieff crescendo em um mundo em mudança entre as suas inexplicáveis experiências e o desenvolvimento da ciência moderna. O livro é o segunda parte da trilogia conhecida como All and Everything escrita por Gurdjieff entre 1924 e 1935. O livro fala sobre as reminiscências de Gurdjieff acerca dos vários "homens notàveis" que ele encontrou, começando por seu pai. Eles incluem o sacerdote Pogossiano da Igreja Apostólica Armênia; o bêbado Soloviev (cujo nome relembra um muito-conhecido místico cristão ortodoxo), o príncipe Lubovedsky, um príncipe Russo com interesses em metafisica, e um par de outros. No curso das descrições deste personagens, Gurdjieff guia a suas histórias através de um viagem que ele próprio realizou, e também em uma narrativa que nas entrelinhas eles cooperam em localizar textos espirituais e/ou mestres de varias nações (a maioria da Ásia Central). Gurdjieff chama este grupo de buscadores da verdade. " A maioria deles de fato acha a "verdade" na forma de um tipo de destino espiritual sutil. A filosdofia nas entrelinhas, especialmente articulada em um apêndice, quantidade de declarações de que pessoas normalmente vivem as suas vidas sem despertar, inconscientes de si mesmos, e agem como maquinas, sujeitas a causas externas e pressões. Também, um dos pontos fortemente expressos na história é que as pessoas das épocas passadas viviam em mais sutis condições e mais altos niveis interiores que as pessoas de hoje. Muitas outras harmonias ocultas são mencionadas ou aludidas. Esta contradição nas crenças modernas foram inspiradas nas questões levantadas pelos personagens da autobiografia. Por exemplo, Gurdjieff clama ter ouvido falar do Epico de Gilgamesh como um épico cantado das memórias do seu pai; tendo feito contato com varias irmandades antigas incluindo a Irmandade Sarmung; copiou um mapa de "Egito pré-desertico" (a existência do próprio mapa é bastante plausível), e ter testemunhado numerosos milagres e fenômenos esotéricos. Ele portanto pode ser dito ter muitas vinhetas nos Encontros que tem significados simbólicos, ou "histórias com ensinamentos".
