PHILIP PULLMAN THE GOLDEN COMPASS, HIS DARK MATERIALS BOOK 1

Description

The Golden Compass, the first book in Philip Pullman’s award-winning His Dark Materials trilogy, introduces readers to a richly imagined world where every person’s soul exists outside their body in the form of a talking animal companion called a dæmon. The story follows Lyra Belacqua, a fearless and curious young girl who uncovers a sinister plot involving kidnapped children and a mysterious substance known as Dust.

When Lyra sets out on a perilous journey to the frozen North, she encounters armored polar bears, witches, and dangerous enemies, all while carrying a powerful truth-telling device—the golden compass—that may hold the key to understanding her destiny.

A spellbinding blend of fantasy, adventure, and profound philosophical questions, The Golden Compass has captivated readers worldwide and established Philip Pullman as one of the most imaginative voices in modern literature.
