Lost Horizon by James Hilton

4.0

This book is known to fellow readers as the first book to be published in paperback cover, but it's more than that!
On the surface Lost Horizon is an adventure trip to some unconquered and beyond reach land of mystery Fiction. But if you dig in especially mid way in the book, I believe that Shangri-la is more a state of mind and spirit than an actual place. It reflects a peaceful mind that throughout the years of experience has achieved the perfect balance that we all yearn for. The Ideas and subjects in the book comes into place like puzzle peaces. The description of the mystical place is told by two opposite visions a man of coming age who has already been through a lot and a young fella who just like every other young soul is bound to his desires of action and passion. The thing is none of those visions are wrong they are just like seasons they exist at the particular time of our lives. so that I could say that Lost Horizon can leave an impact on young people and a totally reversed one on an older audience.
Either way even if you're not looking to implement a spiritual solution into your life, this book is still a must read for everyone.
