Synopsis:
The fascinating diaries of Roerich's pioneering journeys through Tibet and the Himalayan kingdoms, undertaken in the 1920s. These writings offer a glimpse of the world that vanished with the Chinese takeover of Tibet thirty years later. With maps. Roerich, ahead of his time, was a renowned visionary artist, writer, philosopher and explorer of central Asia.
"Nicholas Roerich is one of the cultural pillars of Russia." Mikhail Gorbachev.
"Leonardo da Vinci was at the same time a painter, an architect and an engineer. The same can be said of Roerich - he is not only a towering painter, but a profound philosopher and a distinguished scientist." Ivan Narodny.
"Let this book take you through the crystals of the great Himalayan summits to the lace of the desert sand; through bureaucratic nightmares and extreme hostility to the peaceful co-existence of all religions...let this thought-provoking book take you on a journey...through the boundaries of your own mind." Sian Pritchard-Jones. |
