Overview
The Lost Horizon is a novel written by George Colby Borley in 1921. The story follows a group of British expatriates who are evacuated from a civil war in Baskul, India. However, their plane crashes in the Himalayas, and they are rescued by a group of Tibetan monks who take them to a hidden valley called Shangri-La. The valley is a utopian paradise, where the inhabitants live long and peaceful lives, free from the outside world's troubles. The novel explores themes of spirituality, happiness, and the search for meaning in life. The Lost Horizon has been praised for its vivid descriptions of the Himalayas and its exploration of Eastern philosophy and culture. The book has been adapted into several films, including the 1937 classic directed by Frank Capra.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
