by Nicholas Roerich (Author)
""The Roerich Pact and the Banner of Peace"" is a book written by Nicholas Roerich, a Russian artist, philosopher, and explorer. The book describes Roerich's efforts to promote the idea of a universal symbol of peace, which he called the ""Banner of Peace."" This symbol was intended to protect cultural heritage sites and prevent them from being destroyed during times of war. Roerich also played a key role in the creation of the Roerich Pact, an international treaty signed by 21 countries in 1935. The pact aimed to protect cultural sites and artifacts during times of war and was based on Roerich's ideas about the importance of preserving cultural heritage. The book includes Roerich's reflections on his travels and experiences, as well as his thoughts on the role of art and culture in promoting peace. It also includes a collection of his paintings, which reflect his interest in spirituality, mysticism, and the natural world. Overall, ""The Roerich Pact and the Banner of Peace"" is a fascinating exploration of one man's vision for promoting peace and preserving cultural heritage, and the impact that his ideas had on the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
