Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) is, known first-and-foremost as a painter. His paintings, of which there are thousands around the world, explore the mythic origins, the natural beauty, and the spiritual strivings of humanity and of the world. But, Nicholas Roerich, was as prolific a writer as he was a painter. He wrote books, poetry, and almost, daily essays on life and events (called Diary Leaves).
