Nicholas Roerich was een kunstenaar en denker wiens werk zich verdiept in diepgaande filosofische en spirituele thema's. Zijn schilderijen, vaak geïnspireerd door zijn reizen door Azië, verkennen de schoonheid van de natuur en het streven naar harmonie in de wereld. Roerich was ook een toegewijd activist voor vrede en het behoud van cultureel erfgoed, wat zijn geloof in de onderlinge verbondenheid van kunst en spirituele ontwikkeling weerspiegelt. Zijn nalatenschap ligt in een unieke visie op de wereld, waarin kunst dient als brug naar verlichting en begrip.
Roerich recounts his journeys to more than fifty monasteries and his meetings with lamas eager to share their spiritual insights and heritage with the Western world. His expeditions crossed thirty-five mountain passes, and included here are dramatic descriptions of snow blindness, mountain floods, and mysterious electrical phenomena, as well as intimate depictions of daily life in the rigorous yet beautiful Himalayan environment.

Представленные в настоящем издании очерки, письма и документы позволят читателю проследить основные этапы воплощения великого миротворческого проекта и свидетельствуют о том, какие колоссальные усилия были приложены к тому, чтобы идея действенной защиты культурных ценностей превратилась в реальность между народно го договора.
