Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson is the first book of G. I. Gurdjieff's monumental trilogy All and Everything. Conceived as both a cosmological epic and a profound work of inner instruction, the book presents its teachings through an unusual narrative framework that deliberately challenges the reader's habitual modes of perception and understanding. The story is framed as a series of conversations between Beelzebub — a high-ranking cosmic being exiled from the Solar System — and his beloved grandson Hassein.

In einem eindringlichen Monolog wirft dieser ihm vor, den Menschen mit der Freiheit überfordert zu haben. Dostojewski entfaltet eine tiefgründige Reflexion über Religion, Macht, Verantwortung und die ewige Frage, ob der Mensch Freiheit wirklich ertragen kann.
