The Strange Life of Ivan Osokin

Before you is the only work of art by Peter Demyanovich Uspensky - one of the pillars of spiritual teaching known as "The Fourth Way". The story "The Strange Life of Ivan Osokin" was first published in Russia in 1910... under the title "Kinemadrama" when the author was thirty-two years old. At the end of his life, Uspensky returned to it to rewrite the last chapters and change the ending of the work for publication in English. You will be familiar with the version published in Russia, and in the appendix, you can read the chapters modified by the author. The work on the book reflects the changes that occurred in the author's worldview throughout his life. Some researchers of Uspensky's work consider this story to be his only autobiographical work.
."What if you were offered to live your life again? Would you be able to correct your mistakes or would everything remain the same? Can we change our lives or are circumstances beyond our control?" - these are the questions Uspensky seeks answers to in this book.
