In 1946, acclaimed author Philip Pullman was born in Norwich, England, into a Protestant family. Although his beloved grandfather was an Anglican priest, Pullman became an atheist in his teenage years. He graduated from Exeter College in Oxford with a degree in English, and spent 23 years as a teacher while working on publishing 13 books and numerous short stories. Pullman has received many awards for his literature, including the prestigious Carnegie Medal for exceptional children's literature in 1996, and the Carnegie of Carnegies in 2006. He is most famous for his His Dark Materials trilogy, a series of young adult fantasy novels which feature free-thought themes. The novels cast organized religion as the series' villain. Pullman told The New York Times in 2000: "When you look at what C.S. Lewis is saying, his message is so anti-life, so cruel, so unjust. The view that the Narnia books have for the material world is one of almost undisguised contempt. At one point, the old professor says, 'It's all in Plato'—meaning that the physical world we see around us is the crude, shabby, imperfect, second-rate copy of something much better. I want to emphasize the simple physical truth of things, the absolute primacy of the material life, rather than the spiritual or the afterlife." He argues for a "republic of heaven" here on Earth.

In 2007, the first novel of the His Dark Materials trilogy was adopted into the motion picture The Golden Compass by New Line Cinema. Many churches and Christian organizations, including the Catholic League, called for a boycott of the film due to the books' atheist themes. While the film was successful in Europe and moderately received in the United States, the other two books in the trilogy were not be adapted into film, possibly due to pressure from the Catholic Church. When questioned about the anti-church views in His Dark Materials, Pullman explains in an interview for Third Way (UK): “It comes from history. It comes from the record of the Inquisition, persecuting heretics and torturing Jews and all that sort of stuff; and it comes from the other side, too, from the Protestants burning the Catholics. It comes from the insensate pursuit of innocent and crazy old women, and from the Puritans in America burning and hanging the witches—and it comes not only from the Christian church but also from the Taliban. Every single religion that has a monotheistic god ends up by persecuting other people and killing them because they don't accept him. Wherever you look in history, you find that. It's still going on" (Feb. 2002). Pullman has received many threats by ardent believers over his choice of subject matter.

In a landmark epic of fantasy and storytelling, Philip Pullman invites readers into a world as convincing and thoroughly realized as Narnia, Earthsea, or Redwall. Here lives an orphaned ward named Lyra Belacqua, whose carefree life among the scholars at Oxford's Jordan College is shattered by the arrival of two powerful visitors. First, her fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, appears with evidence of mystery and danger in the far North, including photographs of a mysterious celestial phenomenon called Dust and the dim outline of a city suspended in the Aurora Borealis that he suspects is part of an alternate universe. He leaves Lyra in the care of Mrs. Coulter, an enigmatic scholar and explorer who offers to give Lyra the attention her uncle has long refused her. In this multilayered narrative, however, nothing is as it seems. Lyra sets out for the top of the world in search of her kidnapped playmate, Roger, bearing a rare truth-telling instrument, the compass of the title. All around her children are disappearing—victims of so-called "Gobblers"—and being used as subjects in terrible experiments that separate humans from their daemons, creatures that reflect each person's inner being. And somehow, both Lord Asriel and Mrs. Coulter are involved.

读后感

很早之前看完这一部,之后过了好几年才知道它被改编成电影,而且是非常大的制作。有一个朋友看完电影后说它“想模仿哈利波特,但是没有哈利波特好看,虽然也可以看看”。由于当时我还没有看过电影,所以也无法表达自己的意见。看过电影后,觉得这位朋友就电影的评价是正确的。...

这是一本相当适合小孩看的书。她和哈利波特其实有很多相似的地方。即便作为一个大人,阅读起来感觉也还可以。因为这个小说构造的世界足够丰富有趣,而且他有自己的一套体系。我相当喜欢每个人都有一个精灵的设定。

说实话,我挺佩服自己的,居然把这本繁体竖版的书看完了。 因为是台湾出版的,所以要从右往左看,这也罢了,繁体字我大致还能看懂,这也罢了,但是要命的是,是竖版! 曾经一度很要好的香港男生快递给我的,所以硬了头皮读了两遍。。。。。。万幸的是,读完第二遍之后,终于明...

虽然是儿童文学作品,不过挺适合快要麻木的大人们读。从孩子的视角出发来探究一个神秘的真相。整个情节紧凑、新鲜、繁多却不杂乱。对于事物、人物环境的描述都相当的令人有联想感。让人能够一口气看下去。故事情节一直在向前推进,整个的节奏非常的好。

3.5 作者的声音略浑浊。目前还没有遇到作者本人朗读自己作品的上乘有声书。

最近失眠听有声书重温童年,这本对我影响太深了,造语和灰尘和北极光和铠甲熊,幻想小说就应该这样写。Pullman高龄近几年才开始写续作三部曲,改日拜读。

好像是大三期末考的时候朋友介绍看的,开始后一发不可收拾,连复习都顾不上了,完全沉迷其中,哈利路亚,没有挂科,貌似有些还考得不错。说明人的潜能真的是无限的。
