「黑暗元素三部曲」以高超的技巧與企圖心，打造出一個「沒有神的世界」，在繁複恢宏的格局中充滿驚險刺激的冒險、歎為觀止的場面，而普曼在作品中提出對正義、生命、情感的質疑，亦使得作品引起廣大討論，媒體譽為「自《魔戒》以來最了不起的奇幻小說系列」，較《冰與火之歌》、《哈利波特》更高規格的經典之作。
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.
