读书笔记：《消失的地平线》
－－杨雨黎
我们很容易被环境影响，做事情的时候也会被氛围感染，我认为读一本书也是需要氛围的，就像在你悲观的时候需要励志精神的鼓舞，在你伤痛的时候需要愉快思想的激发，在你迷茫的时候需要清醒理智的引导。当你在读书的时候如果氛围被破坏，那么阅读时本应该享有的乐趣就会大打折扣。
这本书很美丽恰似桃花源，情节并没有那么复杂，对于我这个感性的人来说这是恰到好处。而这本书新颖的地方在于去特殊的时代背景下的特殊题材，使得本书具有与众不同的吸引力和读者。
写这本书的时候刚好是“经济大萧条”末期，对于那场给世界带来巨大灾难的经济危机，西方
人还触目惊心。因此，西方人心中希望有一个乌托邦似的的圣地解救他们的精神苦难，而在此时，《消失的地平线》应运而生，立刻大受追捧。而本书所讲授的东方文化、佛教修行，对西方而言也颇具神秘感。苦难的时代加上神秘的题材，《消失的地平线》有足够的吸引力赚取世界的眼球。
消失的地平线，是我们人类的梦。
“香格里拉”是作者心中的净土的代名词，也是我们读者心中圣地的代名词。就像伊甸园、桃花源一般的地方。那是一片虚化的土地，宁静的氛围，“她的氛围越是平静，她的神秘感就越激荡人心，而且
整个的感觉是惬意而令人欣快的。”但是，香格里拉又是神秘的，让人不能了解她，不能让人寻到她。曾经有位喇嘛,对一个热心追寻香格里拉的人说:香格里拉,就在你心中。
这里有神圣的雪山，幽深的峡谷，飞舞的瀑布，被森林环绕的宁静的湖泊，徜徉在美丽草原上的成的牛羊，净如明镜的天空，金碧辉煌的庙宇，这些都有着让人窒息的美丽。纯洁、好客的人们热情欢迎着远道而来的客人。这里是宗教的圣土，人间的天堂。在这里，太阳和月亮就停泊在你心中。这就是传说中的一香格里拉。
《消失的地平线》在世上出现后，很多人开始了寻香格里拉的旅途，都只能像武陵人一样无功而返。香格里拉就是那一道地平线吧，即使可以望见，也终是不可企及的。而且，也只有让人可望而不可即的地方，才有可能一直保持圣洁，一直蒙上神秘的面纱。其实，人的心灵何尝不是这样？某些人遥不可即的情感，最能勾起我们的遐思，让我们很想靠近。
我也寻觅了很久，在这喧闹的尘世，究竟什么才是我想要的。《消失的地平线》给我以梦的享受，也给我以梦的希望。原来，最想要的归属是一片宁静，神秘的喇嘛，几千年只是待在那一角宫殿，看着世界，透着神秘而诱人的智慧。归隐是现代最不可思议的事情，逃到哪里都会有人类的踪迹。不过，肉体的逃脱并不是真正意义上的逃脱。即使是藏在深山老林里，心中总念着有朝一日翻手为云覆手为雨或是家财万贯，那这虚伪的归隐岂非烦闷？心灵的宁静才是人应该追求的，可以带给我们更多的快乐，拥有更多的幸福。这不是浅浅的家庭幸福
或友谊的温馨，而是人性蒙昧的极乐！
这本书给我的最大感受就是悬疑与虚幻，与当代人所追逐的香格里拉，古代人所向往的桃
花源，有很大相似之处。而这里所说的香格里拉是否真的与陶渊明笔下的桃花源所系同一处呢，据说，在当代仍是一个谜。在《桃花源记》中，陶潜笔下进入世外桃源的描述是这样的： “林尽水源，便得一山，山有小口，仿佛若有光。便舍船，从口入。初极狭，才通人。复行数十步，豁然开朗。土地平旷，屋舍俨然，有良田美池桑竹之属。阡陌交通，鸡犬相闻。其中往来种作，男女衣着，悉如外人。黄发垂髫，并怡然自得。”而《消失的地平线》中描写进入香格里拉的过程也是大同小异的，也是走在尽头时，山有小口，进入之后便豁然开朗了。进入之后，在希尔顿笔下展现的便是一副人间天堂的景象，毫无战争年代的喧嚣。
希尔顿的描写有些浪漫主义的彩。浪漫主义描写的很大特点便是夸张性与虚幻性。如维克多.雨果的《巴黎圣母院》 。这种情景在现实中可以说是完全不可能存在的，体现了强烈的夸张性彩。而希尔顿对与香格里拉的描写也具有强烈的夸张性彩。如在塑造满足姑娘这个形象时，她的年龄上百岁，而她的容颜却只停留在二十岁左右。她是一个典型的满足贵族姑娘，而她那纤细的手指却能弹奏出美妙的钢琴曲，包括最富盛名的莫扎特的名曲。那个时代的中国是闭关锁国的，思想是封建落后的，虽然在列强的入侵下不得不打开国门，但是绝大部分的名门望族所接受的教育仍是四书五经式的内容与模式。而这位满足
姑娘的身上虽然有东方女性的温柔娴淑，有东方女性的古典
美，但她所展现的却不是东方古筝古琴的技艺。虽然在那个时代那个背景下的中国，懂得一种外国技艺也是可能的，但综合这位满足姑娘的种种因素来看，她的这种技能还是让人怀疑的。
没有起点，也没有终点，我们的一切只是浩瀚星空中的瞬息。像香格里拉一样，像梦一般无迹可寻，辉煌也好，岑寂也罢，生活其中的修行者不会在意，那些喇嘛，是其中的真正隐者。参透生死，便没有什么放不开的了。于是，到香格里拉和没有到又有什么分别，你的香格里拉已经在你心中了。

lost horizon
lost horizon is a novel written by an english writer james hilton. it was in this book that the writer invented the word – “shangri-la”, which has become the symbol of eternity, tranquility and peace. the novel is mainly about 4 kidnapped westerners’ e
巴黎圣母院读书笔记xotic experience in the mysterious western china, tibet. about the novel, what interest me most are the plot, the theme and the harmonious coexistence of eastern and western culture in shangri-la.
mysteries run through the whole novel, including whether shangri-la really exists on the earth, whether people living there could stay healthy and young, whether conway told a real story or just made everything up, etc. the writer kept the readers in suspense from the very beginning of the story. meeting several englishmen in a club, “i” learned an acquaintance of mine, conway was kidnapped in a plane hi-jacking happened in baskul. after that, rutherford told me that he had met conway after the kidnapping and offered me a manuscript recording conways experiences. it turned out that conway, miss brinklow, barnard and mallison were brought to shangri-la deliberately for the sustainable development of the area, a paradise where beautiful scenery was everywhere and people lived and worked in peace and contentment. conway and the other three led a comfortable life in a luxurious lamasery that practised a mixture of lamaism and christianity. the high lama finally
confessed that they intended to train some young foreigners to be the future lamas. conway was astounded that people here never grew old, for example, the high lama himself was actually over 200. the fantastic prospect that one could have endless time to read and wander in such a wonderland tempted passionless conway to stay. however, he suddenly changed his mind and left shangri-la with mallison and the old “girl” lo-tsen. again, the novel ended with the meeting between “i” and rutherford. he had tried to inspect the authenticity of conway’s story. what made things more confusing was that a doctor of the chung-kiang hospital where muzzy conway was found told rutherford that conway was brought there by a really old woman(lo-tsen), which proved that staying in shangri-la could
really prolong one’s life. the utopia and its mysteries created in the novel have attracted people from all over the world to explore the western china to search for shangri-la. a town in yunnan province, china, named itself “shangri-la” for the novel’s great impact.
the novel expressed the writer’s yearning for a world without violence and materialism. the book was published in 1933 when the world had just gone through the cruelty of world war i and was experiencing great economic depression began in 1929. at that time, the rising of the fascist dictatorship also indicated an even greater war. people really thirsted for a world of peace and beauty, which can be called escapism to some extent. in the lost horizon, the high lama had come across the isolated place high in the mountain and decided to stay because of his fears of a coming catastrophic wor
ld war. the escapism and the utopia reflected in the novel remind me of a classical chinese prose, cathay s utopia peach bloom source(桃花源记). living in the age of war and chaos, wei and jin dynasties, the writer tao yuanming chose to live in seclusion. just like people of shangri-la, men and women of the peach bloom source also lived a self-sufficient life in a paradise free of war, rank, oppression and violence. life in both shangri-la and peach bloom source were peaceful and tranquil. people get along harmoniously peacefully with nature and with each other.
james hilton and tao yuanming expressed their and dissatisfaction and resistance towards the depressing reality by creating the two paradises that were only mirages or something imaginary existed in the writer’s mind and could never be found.
