Peter D. Ouspensky was a Russian mathematician and esotericist, renowned for his explanations of the early teachings of the mystic George Gurdjieff. After encountering Gurdjieff in 1915, Ouspensky dedicated 25 years to expounding this unique philosophical and psychological system in England and the United States. His writings delve into the deeper dimensions of human existence and the quest for higher consciousness, characterized by a clear and analytical approach to complex spiritual ideas. Ouspensky's work offers profound insights for readers interested in the psychological and philosophical underpinnings of spiritual exploration.

Dvije priče ovog kontroverznog ruskog pisca, sadržane u knjizi, daju uvid u obskurnu duhovnost koja ga je cijeli život zaokupljala. U prvoj priči - "Izumitelj", riječ je o znanstveniku koji uspijeva uspostaviti kontrolu nad materijalnim silama, dajući im novu osobinu koja ih odvaja od Vraga i na posljetku dovodi do njegova nestajanja. U drugoj priči - "Dobroćudni vrag", pisac se bavi problemom čovjekova samoobmanjivanja, kao djelatnog psiho-mehanizma kojim je vezan za materijalnu stvarnost, ostajući u stanju trajnog spavača, zamišljajući "dobro" u smislu iluzornog svijeta, a Vragov je zadatak upravo da ohrabri ovu obmanu.
