Samenvatting:

Nicholas Roerich's Shambhala is a mystical, philosophical, and semi-travelogue meditation on the legendary hidden kingdom of Central Asian lore. Drawing upon his expeditions across the Himalayas and Mongolia in the 1920s, Roerich blends vivid landscapes, encounters with lamas and nomads, and spiritual allegory to explore the metaphysical realm of Shambhala — a symbol of inner enlightenment and global peace. The book fuses Theosophy, Buddhist prophecy, and personal vision into a compelling narrative that transcends genre. Roerich's prose is rich, poetic, and contemplative, appealing to seekers, mystics, and readers of esoteric traditions. Part memoir, part mythic exploration, Shambhala is a work of spiritual imagination that speaks to the timeless human yearning for a sacred, hidden truth.
