Lost Horizon

by James Hilton

Lost Horizon Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

While attempting to escape a civil war, four people are kidnapped and transported to the Tibetan mountains. After their plane crashes, they are found by a mysterious Chinese man. He leads them to a monastery hidden in "the valley of the blue moon" — a land of mystery and matchless beauty where life is lived in tranquil wonder, beyond the grasp of a doomed world.

It is here, in Shangri-La, where destinies will be discovered and the meaning of paradise will be unveiled.

Synopsis:

Three men and a woman--who are seeking escape from political upheaval in the Orient--survive an airplane crash and find themselves prisoners at first, then visitors of the inhabitants of a hidden paradise.
