Description:
Hardback. New. Russian painter, explorer, and mystic Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) ranks as one of the twentieth century's great enigmas. John McCannon's engaging and scrupulously researched narrative moves beyond traditional perceptions of Roerich as a saint or a villain to show that he was, in many ways, both in equal measure.
