## Description

Shangri-La promises peace, beauty and long life. But first its visitors must give up the world they knew. The gripping adventure that invented the mystery of Shangri-La. During an evacuation from Baskul, a light aircraft is hijacked and flown deep into the high Tibetan Himalayas. Among the passengers is Conway, a talented British consul, accompanied by the anxious Mallinson, the adaptable Barnard and the missionary Miss Brinklow. Their flight ends near a hidden lamasery in a remote valley: Shangri-La, a place of peace, beauty, learning and unsettling restraint. Are they guests or prisoners? Can they leave? And do they want to? Lost Horizon is a classic adventure novel about utopia, exile, civilisation and the longing to step outside ordinary time. Framed as a mystery and set between British India, Tibet and China, James Hilton’s novel combines lost-world adventure with philosophical fantasy. From the author of Goodbye Mr Chips, Lost Horizon is the classic adventure that introduced Shangri-La, a hidden paradise whose peace and beauty conceal a deeper mystery.
