內容簡介
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 disappearingâ victims of so-called "Gobblers"â 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.

菲利普·普爾曼(Philip Pullman, 1946-),20世紀以來最重要的英國童書作傢之一。畢業於牛津大學,曾任西敏學院兼任講師,教授維多利亞時期文學與民間故事,目前與傢人住在英國,專事寫作。除瞭青少年小說外,也撰寫劇本與圖畫書。
他擅長采集童話、傳說與類型故事元素,揉閤當代議題與驚人的幽默感。以英國維多利亞時代為背景的「英倫懸疑四部麯」(《紅寶石迷霧》、《北方之星》、《井底之虎》、《锡公主》),便編織瞭社會寫實、驚悚冒險、超自然元素、蒸汽幻想等多元類型風格,人物性格鮮明,情節麯摺緊湊,更跳脫成人與兒童的分界,廣受好評,也奠定他在長篇小說寫作上的地位。同時此套小說也成為之後國際級暢銷經典「黑暗元素三部麯」的寫作基調。他的珠玉小品故事,如《發條鍾》、《我是老鼠!》與《卡斯坦伯爵》等,也精湛地發揮瞭揉閤編織的功力,故事雖短,文本層次豐富而有餘韻,是短篇故事的翹楚之作。
