Publisher's Synopsis
Lost Horizon is a masterwork of modern fiction and one of the most enduring classics of the twentieth century, thrilling and ageless. Hugh Conway experienced humanity at its worst while fighting in the trenches of WWI. Conway is now a British diplomat serving in Afghanistan, where he is caught in the middle of a civil war that compels him to evacuate the nation via plane. When Conway's (a British diplomat) plane crashes high in the Himalayas, a mysterious guide finds him and leads him to a breath-taking discovery: the hidden Valley of Shangri-La. Shangri-La, which has been kept hidden from the rest of the world for over two centuries, is akin to paradise-a location where people have lived for generations in peace.
