Review

"Extraordinary storytelling at its very best." --The Detroit Free Press

"Superb . . . all-stops-out thrilling." --The Washington Post

"Very grand indeed." --The New York Times

"Powerful [...] a fantasy adventure that sparkles with childlike wonder." --The Boston Sunday Globe

"Marvelous [...] the writing is elegant and challenging." --The New Yorker

"Arguably the best juvenile fantasy novel of the past twenty years [...] If [The Subtle Knife] is as good as The Golden Compass, we'll be two thirds of the way to the completion of a modern fantasy classic."

--The Washington Post Book World

"Pullman is quite possibly a genius...using the lineaments of fantasy to tell the truth about the universal experience of growing up." --Newsweek

"Masterful storytelling [...] with a cast of instantly beguiling characters." --The Dallas Morning News

"The most magnificent fantasy series since Lord of the Rings." --The Oregonian The modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time." Philip Pullman takes readers to a world where humans have animal familiars and where parallel universes are within reach.

Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where the Gobblers take the children they steal--including her friend Roger. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world.

Can one small girl make a difference in such great and terrible endeavors? This is Lyra a savage, a schemer, a liar, and as fierce and true a champion as Roger or Asriel could want.

But what Lyra doesn't know is that to help one of them will be to betray the other...

A masterwork of storytelling and suspense, Philip Pullman's award-winning The Golden Compass is the first in the His Dark Materials series, which continues with The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass.

菲利普•普尔曼（Philip Pullman，1946-），英国当代知名作家，毕业于牛津大学，曾任教威斯敏斯特学院。“黑暗物质三部曲”出版后风靡全球，普尔曼也因此被认为是“继《魔戒》作者托尔金之后优秀的盎格鲁-撒克逊奇幻小说家”，并赢得诸多重要奖项。他的作品还有《烟雾中的红宝石》（The Rubyinthe Smoke）及好几本为青少年读者写的维多利亚时期的历史冒险小说。英国学校里的孩子们也对他的作品非常熟悉，因为学校里经常会用到这些书做教材。

Philip Pullmanhas won many distinguished prizes, including the Carnegie Medal for The Golden Compass (and the reader-voted“Carnegie of Carnegies”for the best children’s book of the past seventy years); the Whitbread (now Costa) Book of the Year Award for The Amber Spyglass; a Booker Prize long-list nomination (The Amber Spyglass); Parents’Choice Gold Awards (The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass); and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, in honor of his body of work. In 2004, he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

Philip Pullman is the author of many books for young readers, including two volumes related to the His Dark Materials trilogy: Lyra’s Oxford and Once Upon a Time in the North. He lives in Oxford, England.
