Philip Pullman strana 2 z 9

'Lyra Silvertongue, you're very welcome . . . Yes, I know your new name. Serafina Pekkala told me everything about your exploits' Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon have left the events of His Dark Materials far behind. In this snapshot of their forever-changed lives they return to the North to visit an old friend, where we will learn that things are not exactly as they seem . . . Illustrated throughout by Tom Duxbury, the perfect re-entry for fans of His Dark Materials and a wonderful companion to The Book of Dust, Serpentine is a brand-new special read for Pullman fans old and new.

Húsz év telt el a La Belle Sauvage kalandjai óta, és az akkor még csecsemő Lyra mostanra fiatal nővé cseperedett. Hét éve hagyta ott élete szerelmét, Will Parryt az oxfordi botanikus kert padján a nagy sikerű Északi fény-trilógia (Az Úr sötét anyagai) végén. Lyra kapcsolata Pantalaimonnal ismeretlen utat jár be, miközben mindketten titkos és veszedelmes társaságok hatalmi játszmáiba keverednek. Malcolm, az egykori csónakos fiú, egy különleges gyermek megmentője, immár erős férfi, akit kötelességtudata szintén utazásra kényszerít. Mindhárman el kell, hogy hagyják Oxfordot, hogy Európán át Ázsia szívében keressék az elveszett titkokat: egy daimónok lakta várost, a sivatag szívének rejtélyét és a megfoghatatlan Por misztériumát.

It is twenty years since the events of La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One unfolded and saw the baby Lyra Belacqua begin her life-changing journey. It is almost ten years since readers left Lyra and the love of her young life, Will Parry, on a park bench in Oxford's Botanic Gardens at the end of the ground-breaking, bestselling His Dark Materials sequence. Now, in The Secret Commonwealth, we meet Lyra Silvertongue. And she is no longer a child . . . The second volume of Philip Pullman's The Book of Dust sees Lyra, now twenty years old, and her daemon Pantalaimon, forced to navigate their relationship in a way they could never have imagined, and drawn into the complex and dangerous factions of a world that they had no idea existed. Pulled along on his own journey too is Malcolm; once a boy with a boat and a mission to save a baby from the flood, now a man with a strong sense of duty and a desire to do what is right. Theirs is a world at once familiar and extraordinary, and they must travel far beyond the edges of Oxford, across Europe and into Asia, in search for what is lost - a city haunted by daemons, a secret at the heart of a desert, and the mystery of the elusive Dust. The Secret Commonwealth is truly a book for our times; a powerful adventure and a thought-provoking look at what it is to understand yourself, to grow up and make sense of the world around you. This is storytelling at its very best from one of our greatest writers.

Do Pstruha chodí celý Oxford a Malcolm a jeho démon Asta si preto denne vypočujú všelijaké klebety a rozhovory. Počas daždivých zimných dní však Malcolm postrehne aj čosi nové – intrigy. Náhodou nájde tajnú správu, v ktorej sa píše o akejsi nebezpečnej hmote nazývanej Prach. Špiónka, ktorej bola správa určená, si ho nájde a požiada Malcolma, aby mal oči otvorené. On zrazu vidí samé podozrivé osoby a všetky sa vypytujú na to isté – na bábätko menom Lyra. Nemluvňa ich priťahuje ako magnet a Malcolm musí preukázať neuveriteľnú odvahu a vynaliezavosť, aby dostal dievčatko do bezpečia.

Az Északi fény trilógia utolsó kötete (mely azonban nem befejezése a sorozatnak) elhozza a minden világot megrengető, nagy végjátékot, mely a Teremtő és az emberiség között zajlik. Emellett elmeséli egy lány és egy fiú történetét is, két tizenévesét, akiken minden világ sorsa múlik - de akik közben ugyanolyan gyerekek, mint bárki más, ugyanúgy meg kell tapasztalniuk a felnőtté válás minden örömét és kínját. A helyes döntést sem a világraszóló, sem a személyes dolgokban nem könnyű meghozni, ahogy azt Lyra és Will is megtanulja ebben a páratlanul izgalmas, magával ragadó és sokszor felkavaró regényben. Melyből azt is megtudhatjuk, mit lát a különleges Borostyán látcső, és kik azok a mulefák...
