His utopia retains all its charm and, in his creation of Shangri-La, he added something permanently to the language"--Guardian"Lost Horizon introduced the world to a Tibetan paradise where people live extraordinarily long lives of peace, harmony and wisdom. Expertly plotted and deftly written, Hilton's book suggests mysteries without spelling them out - and leaves us wanting more"--New York Times"James Hilton invented the name Shangri-La for a paradise on earth in a book that captured the imagination of a public dealing with financial hardships and the threat of Nazism"--Observer"The important thing to note about this very fine novel--the tale of an adventure in Tibet--is that it is unusual and the product of a first-class mind...a wildly exciting story, nightmare, fantasy, or what you will"--Daily Express
