Miniver, which won an academy award for best screenplay in 1942, and Alfred Hitchcook s foreign correspondent. He was also a screenwriter, with credits including such classic films as Mrs. About The Author -: James Hilton was the author of more than twenty novels, including the bestselling goodbye, Mr. There, the bewildered party finds themselves stranded outside the protective borders of the British empire, and discovers access to a place beyond the bounds of the imagination- a legendary paradise, the mystic monastery Shangri-la.
When an uprising in Baskul forces a small group of English and American residents to flee, their plane crash-lands in the far western reaches of the Tibetan Himalayas. 268 About The Book -: This stunning tale of revolution, utopia, emotion, an adventure set in a hidden mountain top escape only as Shangri-la.
Otherwise, this is a well-meaning but ham-fisted sequel to a novel that needed none.Paperback. It's only in Conway's flashbacked story that the authors touch the magic and excitement of the original. Risking sudden aging, he lingers with her, telling her how, after leaving Shangri-la three decades earlier for the brief exile that concluded the Hilton tale, he made his tortuous way back to his beloved oasis in the snows. During his descent, Conway falls in love with a young Chinese woman. Hugh Conway, the British diplomat who in Hilton's original became high lama of Shangri-la, must reenter the world in order to foil a Chinese general who, in the midst of plundering Tibet, gets wind of the fabled land whose inhabitants can live for centuries. The novel's very structure indicates Cooney and Altieri's (Deception, 1994) disregard of storytelling principles: it's told in a confusion of time frames, first in the present of the late 1960s, then as a flashforward, then back to the present, then as a further flashback, then in the present once again. In an unfortunate triumph of polemic over art, this sequel to Hilton's yarn hammers home these sad facts and a multitude more, at the expense of good writing.
Where monks once walked, Chinese troops now march where temples once stood, rubble lies. Much has changed in Tibet since James Hilton used it 63 years ago as the inspiration for Lost Horizon, his classic novel about Shangri-la, a spiritual paradise hidden in the Himalayas.
