内容简介
Northern Lights introduces Lyra, an orphan, who lives in a parallel universe in which science, theology and magic are entwined. Lyra's search for a kidnapped friend uncovers a sinister plot involving stolen children and turns into a quest to understand a mysterious phenomenon called Dust. In The Subtle Knife she is joined on her journey by Will, a boy who possesses a knife that can cut windows between worlds. As Lyra learns the truth about her parents and her prophesied destiny, the two young people are caught up in a war against celestial powers that ranges across many worlds and leads to a thrilling conclusion in The Amber Spyglass. The epic story Pullman tells is not only a spellbinding adventure featuring armoured polar bears, magical devices, witches and daemons, it is also an audacious and profound re-imagining of Milton's Paradise Lost. An utterly entrancing blend of metaphysical speculation and bravura storytelling, HIS DARK MATERIALS is a monumental and enduring achievement.

菲利普·普尔曼(Philip Pullman, 1946-),20世纪以来最重要的英国童书作家之一。毕业于牛津大学,曾任西敏学院兼任讲师,教授维多利亚时期文学与民间故事,目前与家人住在英国,专事写作。除了青少年小说外,也撰写剧本与图画书。
他擅长采集童话、传说与类型故事元素,揉合当代议题与惊人的幽默感。以英国维多利亚时代为背景的「英伦悬疑四部曲」(《红宝石迷雾》、《北方之星》、《井底之虎》、《锡公主》),便编织了社会写实、惊悚冒险、超自然元素、蒸汽幻想等多元类型风格,人物性格鲜明,情节曲折紧凑,更跳脱成人与儿童的分界,广受好评,也奠定他在长篇小说写作上的地位。同时此套小说也成为之后国际级畅销经典「黑暗元素三部曲」的写作基调。他的珠玉小品故事,如《发条钟》、《我是老鼠!》与《卡斯坦伯爵》等,也精湛地发挥了揉合编织的功力,故事虽短,文本层次丰富而有余韵,是短篇故事的翘楚之作。
