Lost Horizon -- James Hilton

<p><strong>"The most artful kind of suspense. . . ingenuity I have rarely seen equaled." -- <em>The New Yorker</em></strong></p><p>Originally published in 1933, <em>Lost Horizon</em> gained unrivaled popularity from coast to coast, particularly after Frank Capra's spellbinding 1937 film introduced audiences nationwide to its stunning tale of revolution, utopia, emotion, and adventure set in a hidden mountaintop escape known only as Shangri-La.</p><p>When an uprising in Baskul forces a small group of English and American residents to flee, their plane crash-lands in the far western reaches of the Tibetan Himalayas. There, the bewildered party finds themselves stranded outside the protective borders of the British Empire, and discovers access to a place beyond the bounds of the imagination--a legendary paradise, the mystic monastery Shangri-La.</p><p>This Harper Perennial edition includes a P.S. section featuring a bonus essay on <em>Lost Horizon </em>by Kenneth C.
