Shangri-La... an ancient Buddhist legend about an abode existing outside space and time for the enlightened—? Or perhaps the last island of calm and harmony in a world torn apart by war and bleeding out?

Thus begins one of the most mysterious novels of the 20th century—James Hilton’s “Lost Horizon,” a book that blends the traits of intellectual mysticism with an exciting adventure plot!
