Lost Horizon [Trilogy Edition]
by James HiltonFirst published in 1933, this novel by award-winning author James Hilton tells the story of Hugh Conway, a veteran member of the British diplomatic service who finds inner peace, love, and a sense of purpose in Shangri-La, an Eden-like valley high in the Himalayas in Tibet.Said to have been inspired by reading the National Geographic Magazine articles of a botanist and ethnologist who explored the southwestern Chinese provinces and Tibetan borderlands, the name "Shangri-La" has become a by-word for a mythical utopia, a permanently happy land, isolated from the world, and one that captivated the world's imagination--from Roosevelt naming his Maryland presidential retreat "Shangri-La" to the Zhongdian mountain region of Southwest China being renamed Shangri-La (Xianggelila).The novel won James Hilton the Hawthornden Prize in 1934 and was also immortalized in a movie version in 1937 by influential director Frank Capra."Hilton's premise strikes a deep chord in today's 'everything is relative' society. His utopia retains all its charm and, in his creation of Shangri-La, he added something permanently to the language"--Guardian"Lost Horizon introduced the world to a Tibetan paradise where people live extraordinarily long lives of peace, harmony and wisdom. Expertly plotted and deftly written, Hilton's book suggests mysteries without spelling them out - and leaves us wanting more"--New York Times"James Hilton invented the name Shangri-La for a paradise on earth in a book that captured the imagination of a public dealing with financial hardships and the threat of Nazism"--Observer"The important thing to note about this very fine novel--the tale of an adventure in Tibet--is that it is unusual and the product of a first-class mind...a wildly exciting story, nightmare, fantasy, or what you will"--Daily Express
