Lost Horizon

Shambhala, or Shangri-La.
An ancient Buddhist legend about a place of enlightenment existing outside of space and time?
Or the last oasis of serenity and harmony in a war-torn world? Shangri-La was sought in vain by great scholars, mystics, and philosophers.
But one day the gates of Shangri-La opened to save four Europeans, passengers of a hijacked plane.
Thus begins James Hilton's novel "Lost Horizon," a book that combines an exciting adventure plot with elements of mystery.
