James Hilton
Celebrating the 70th anniversary of this magical and well-loved classic. Following a plane crash, Conway, a British consul; his deputy; a missionary; and an American financier find themselves in the enigmatic snow-capped mountains of uncharted Tibet. Here they discover a seemingly perfect hidden community where they are welcomed with gracious hospitality. Intrigued by its mystery, the travelers set about discovering the secret hidden at the shimmering heart of Shangri-La.

There is one character that sounds like Beldar Conehead, which was hilarious. This is a great listen overall.
Superb narration

we all want a Shangri-La

It feels like the story is leading up to more revelations than you actually get and, while the main character’s story is very well developed, other characters seem to be reduced to some shallow cultural generalizations or stereotypes.
I’m sure there are plenty of people who love this book so at least check out the sample to see if you’re interested.
Did they make a movie version of this?
Deep or shallow? You decide.

Any additional comments?
Hilton's story is a classic, well worth the listen. It makes you (or at least, it made me) imagine being in Shangri-la, with no cares at all. A most inviting place. The negative here is the performance. De Morgan's reading is fine, most of his voices are quite good, but the production quality is lacking. At least three times I heard something falling in the background. And the pace is interminable (a digital reworking could clean things up quite a bit). Loooong pauses are frequent. But I recommend you put those problems aside and just listen. I've said before here, classics become classics for a reason. "The Lost Horizon" is well deserving of the honor.A wonderful find

The story itself is wonderful.
great story ruined by noisy skippy audio

The performer was adept at using various voices to render different characters.
The one drawback is that the recording quality isn't the best, but it's good enough that you can make out what's going on. The original recording is likely on the older side, but the content is lovely.
Great except for recording quality

An excellent tale, well told

The narrator reminded me of Ronald Colman who starred in the 1937 movie of the same title.
