The Lost Horizon is a novel written by American author George Colby Borley and was first published in 1921. The story revolves around a group of people who are stranded in the Himalayas after their plane crashes. They are rescued by the inhabitants of a mysterious lamasery called Shangri-La, a place where time seems to stand still and people live to an incredibly old age. The protagonist, Robert Conway, becomes fascinated by the lamasery and its inhabitants, and begins to question the meaning of life and the pursuit of happiness. As he delves deeper into the secrets of Shangri-La, he discovers that the lamasery is not what it seems, and that there is a darker side to this seemingly idyllic paradise. The novel explores themes of utopia, immortality, and the search for meaning in life. The Lost Horizon has been widely acclaimed for its beautiful prose and thought-provoking themes, and has been adapted into several films and stage productions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
