SHANGRI-LA

FIN DE SIÈCLE »

"When he sat reading in the library, or playing Mozart in the music room, he often felt the invasion of a deep spiritual emotion, as if Shangri-La were indeed a living essence, distilled from the magic of the ages and miraculously preserved against time and death."

--- From Lost Horizon, by James Hilton



Hoping to attract tourists, Zhongdian County in China’s Yunnan Province changed its name to Shangri-La in 2001, thereby claiming the utopian mountain pass James Hilton imagined in his 1933 novel Lost Horizon.  I took the bait. 


Pour attirer les touristes, le comté de Zhongdian, dans la province chinoise du Yunnan, a pris le nom de Shangri-La en 2001, en référence à la vallée utopique imaginée par James Hilton dans son roman Les Horizons perdus, paru en 1933. J’ai mordu à l’hameçon.
