Nicholas Roerich - Travel, non-fiction

Another travel book written in the early part of the century by the Russian artist and spiritualist Nicholas Roerich, it doesn't, unfortunately, compare with Alexandra's David Neel's accounts of the area, but has some interesting moments. Roerich traveled Chinese Turkestan, Altai, Mongolia and Tibet, investigating the local customs and religions.

What aren't included, but are perhaps the key to his journey, are the beautiful paintings he created on the journey.
