Lost Horizon - mystery. [View all]
I just finished Lost Horizon. It was pretty good but there is a mystery I can't figure out at the end.
It was published in 1933 but at the end it mentions the German air raids of London, Japan attacking Shanghai and Americans training to fly against the "Japs".
How could these be mentioned in a 1933 book? Hitler was just made chancellor that year.
I couldn't find any reference of a rewrite and every edition I checked had the same text.
Anyone know how this came to be?
