Nicholas Roerich
Russian painter, explorer, and mystic Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) ranks as one of the twentieth century’s great enigmas. Despite mystery and scandal, he left a deep, if understudied, cultural imprint on Russia, Europe, India, and America. As a painter and set designer Roerich was a key figure in Russian art. He became a major player in Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, and with Igor Stravinsky he cocreated The Rite of Spring, a landmark work in the emergence of artistic modernity. His art, his adventures, and his peace activism earned the friendship and admiration of such diverse luminaries as Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, H. G. Wells, Jawaharlal Nehru, Raisa Gorbacheva, and H. P. Lovecraft. But the artist also had a darker side. Stravinsky once said of Roerich that “he ought to have been a mystic or a spy.” He was certainly the former and close enough to the latter to blur any distinction. His travels to Asia, supposedly motivated by artistic interests and archaeological

Nicholas Nickleby, E-bok
When young Nicholas Nickleby’s father dies in poverty, he must turn to his wealthy uncle for help to support his mother and sister. The uncle reluctantly assists Nicholas in obtaining a poorly paid job as an assistant to the unscrupulous headmaster Wackford Squeers, who runs a school for disadvantaged children. Nicholas quickly realizes that all is not well at the school and attempts to hold Squeers accountable. Nicholas Nickleby is a classic coming-of-age novel about finding one’s place in the adult world. In typical Dickens fashion, it is filled with extraordinary and eccentric characters while simultaneously criticizing societal injustices. CHARLES DICKENS [1812–1870], born in Portsmouth, England, was the most popular English-language novelist of his time. He created a fictional world that reflected the social and technological changes during the Victorian era. Among his most famous works are David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol, and The Pickwick Papers.
