Lost Horizon

Currently re-reading Lost Horizon by James Hilton and this paragraph stood out for me:

The whole game was doubtless going to pieces, but fortunately the players were not as a rule put on trial for the pieces they failed to save. In that respect financiers were unlucky.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

  1. I'd actually like to know more about the tag line under the title in that picture.

  2. As I mentioned was re-reading the book. Was curious about that too the first time around and think I checked and it was the first book that was printed in paperback. It was very popular basically what Ian Fleming's books were to a later generation. FDR was a big fan.
