The name of Nicholas Roerich belongs to the galaxy of outstanding figures of Russian and world culture. Roerich's talent was universal: artist, philosopher, traveler, major public figure. Everything written by Roerich is closer to us than we think, and is more accessible to us than we imagine. Every word he says amazes with its precision and thoughtfulness. In one of his works he wrote: “Art will unite humanity. Art is one and inseparable." The planetary role of the creative heritage of the Roerich family has not yet been realized and not fully comprehended. The book presents articles by N.K. Roerich, written in different years and published in Allahabad (India) in the collection “Himavat” in 1946. The collection is published in Russian for the first time . The book uses reproductions of paintings by N.K. Roerich
