Description
"Lost Horizon" is James Hilton’s best-known work. The novel won the Hawthornden Prize for "Best Fiction" and has been adapted for film twice.
The book combines an exciting adventure plot with elements of mystery: Shambhala, or Shangri-La.
An ancient Buddhist legend about a dwelling beyond space and time where the enlightened reside?
Or the last outpost of calm and harmony in a war-torn world? Great scholars, mystics, and philosophers vainly searched for Shangri-La.
But one day, the gates of Shangri-La opened to save four Europeans—passengers on a hijacked airplane.
That is how James Hilton’s novel "Lost Horizon" begins—a book that blends a thrilling adventure story with elements of mystery.
