Features: In 1933, the British publisher Macmillan published the novel Lost Horizon by British novelist James Hilton, which, to the publisher and the author himself, was completely unexpected. The book immediately caused a sensation in Europe and quickly became a bestseller worldwide, giving rise to a global craze for seeking the ideal kingdom of Shangri-La. There is an ancient legend that somewhere on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau lies a subterranean kingdom ruled by deities, governing the world—Shangri-La. The Tibetan scriptures also record a Shambhala kingdom identified by Sakyamuni. In the search for Shangri-La, a brand-new ideological nation—Buddha's Shangri-La—emerged in the sight of all humanity. In this magical land, which is closest to the sky—or rather, built in the sky—a hidden nation within a nation, Shangri-La, lies concealed. This book tells the astonishing story of entering this paradise and has become an absolute classic. Lost Horizon is primarily interpreted as an adventure novel. The entire book radiates a unique sense of adventure and charm.
