Lost Horizon 失去的地平線

“香格里拉”是個美麗的名字. 在英語裡它代表”遙遠而迷人的地方”, 法語中的意思是”人間仙境”, 西語為”天堂”, 而中文則解譯為”世外桃源”. 各國的地理學家們最早說香格里拉就在中國雲南中甸, 緊接著怒江, 麗江等地爭相說, 真正的香格里拉在他們那裡, 後來又有一則消息說最後的香格里拉在四川稻城.

失去的地平線故事主軸在敘述某次南亞大陸某國巴斯庫發生暴亂, 英國駐當地領事館的領事康威等一行人乘坐一架小型飛機迅速撤離巴斯庫. 飛行途中, 他們發現飛機偏離的既定航道, 沿著喜馬拉雅山脈由西向東偏北飛行, 原來飛機被神秘地劫持了. 由此, 康威等人進入了一個神秘而美好的世外桃源, 香格里拉. 故事的經過, 我就不在這裡埋地雷了, 想必很多人也已經讀過. 但這個主要創作的內容, 卻使得希爾頓成為”香格里拉”一辭的發明者. 據說希爾頓本人其實並沒有到過叫做”香格里拉”的地方, 他的創作素材取自於歐美傳教士和探險家們的早年筆錄記實. 這本書對人類社會最大的貢獻就是在”創作中發現了香格里拉”, 並自此帶領人們去創造心目中的”人間天堂".
