Set in the hidden mountains of the Blue Moon, it is a place of enchantment. No one grows old there. No one thinks of death.
This is the story of four people brought to Shangri-La against their will. But most of all, it is the story of one man—Hugh Conway—who was trapped by the fascination of eternal life. One of the most beloved of all modern novels (over 2,000,000 copies in print), tells of Conway’s strange love for an ardent Chinese woman and of a hypnotic dream of paradise that brought happiness to his life.
