WARRIOR
OF LIGHT:
The
Life Story of Nicholas Roerich--Artist, Himalayan Explorer and
Visionary
by

(Children's book) |
|
As
a boy in Russia, Nicholas Roerich was captivated by a traveler's
stories about Rigden Djapo, ruler of the mystical Himalayan
kingdom of Shamballa. These ancient legends told of a time of
trouble to come, when Rigden Djapo would assemble his warriors
of light and fight a victorious battle over all darkness. Then
an era of peace would begin.
When Nicholas grew up, he fulfilled his dream of exploring Asia
and becoming a warrior of light. In the 1920s, he led a five-year
trek through Central Asia over many of the world's most dangerous
mountain passes. While on the journey, he worked on several
hundred paintings despite overwhelming obstacles. During his
lifetime, he completed about seven thousand works of art.
Not only was Nicholas Roerich a courageous explorer and a talented
artist, but he was also a world leader in many professions.
He was a scientist, he wrote 30 books and he was nominated for
the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to preserve cultural institutions
and landmarks during wartime. Twenty-one nations signed a treaty
pledging to protect museums, universities, cathedrals and libraries
that flew the Banner of Peace that Nicholas had designed.
Warrior of Light tells the fascinating story of the remarkable
boy who grew up to be a world-famous artist, explorer, author,
scientist, philosopher and peacemaker.
