In the wake of a world shaken by war and uncertainty, four passengers aboard a mysterious aircraft vanish into the cloud-veiled heights of the Himalayas-only to awaken in a valley untouched by time. Thus begins Lost Horizon, James Hilton’s spellbinding tale of serenity and suspense, where the weary and world-worn are led into the heart of Shangri-La-a hidden monastery whose harmony and wisdom seem to defy the very march of history.Among them is Hugh Conway, a seasoned British diplomat whose quiet introspection masks the burdens of a world gone mad. As Conway and his companions explore this breathtaking refuge-cradled among snow-capped peaks and whispering pines-they encounter a society devoted not to conquest or commerce, but to music, meditation, and moderation. Yet serenity comes at a price. What lies beneath Shangri-La’s tranquil surface? And can one truly remain in paradise once they know the world beyond still burns?First published in 1933, Lost Horizon became an instant literary phenomenon and introduced the world to the now-universal concept of 'Shangri-La'-a mythic sanctuary from the chaos of modern life. Hilton’s luminous prose and philosophical depth invite readers to reflect on the value of time, the nature of peace, and the elusive dream of utopia.A visionary novel of exile and transcendence, Lost Horizon is both an adventure of the body and a journey of the soul. For readers weary of a turbulent world, it remains one of the most enduring literary havens of the 20th century.
