Анотація "E-book: Lost Horizon (illustrated)", Джеймс Гілтон
Lost Horizon by James Hilton is a timeless philosophical novel that blends adventure, mysticism, and reflection on the human search for peace and meaning. First published in 1933, the book introduced the world to the legendary hidden valley of Shangri-La, a symbol of harmony, longevity, and spiritual balance that has since become part of global culture.
The story follows a small group of Western travelers who survive a mysterious plane crash in the remote Himalayas and are taken to an isolated lamasery unlike any place they have ever known. Within this secluded sanctuary, time seems to slow, life is prolonged, and conflict gives way to contemplation. As the travelers encounter the gentle wisdom of the monks, they are forced to confront their own values, ambitions, and fears.
At the heart of the novel is a contrast between the restless, violent modern world and the calm, disciplined existence of Shangri-La.
