The novel was written in 1933 and was the first paperback novel ever published. It was made into a film in 1937 starring Ronald Colman and Jane Wyatt. The story is about Robert Conway (Ronald Colman), writer, soldier and diplomat, who is hijacked by plane on his way back to England. The plane crashes in the Himalayas. He is taken to Shangri-La, an idyllic land sheltered from the cold by mountains on all sides. The place is one of incredible beauty, peacefulness, and happiness. It is governed by a Lama whom Conway is to replace. I have been intrigued by the Shangri-La I read about and saw in the old movie ever since. It's no wonder that so many beautiful or tranquil places have been named Shangri-La. (less)

This is a huge, monumental book that took the author many, many years to write. It is a romance and adventure set in the Himalayas. It's hard to put this book down, all 947 pages of it. Curiously, General James Mattis recommended this book to his staff for its tactical lessons. It explains why Afghanistan will never be conquered.(less)
