The Book of Dust. The Secret Commonwealth

Más información sobre el libro

Twenty years after the events of La Belle Sauvage, and nearly a decade since readers last saw Lyra Belacqua and Will Parry, we find Lyra Silvertongue at twenty, navigating a complex world alongside her daemon, Pantalaimon. In this second volume of The Book of Dust, they confront the challenges of their evolving relationship while becoming embroiled in dangerous factions previously unknown to them. Malcolm, who once sought to save a baby from a flood, now grapples with his sense of duty and moral integrity. Their journey takes them beyond Oxford, across Europe and into Asia, as they search for what has been lost—a city haunted by daemons, a secret in the desert, and the mystery of Dust. This narrative is not only an adventure but also a profound exploration of self-discovery, maturation, and understanding the world. The Secret Commonwealth stands out as a powerful tale for contemporary readers, showcasing Pullman's exceptional storytelling. The first book of the trilogy, La Belle Sauvage, is set to be adapted for the stage, promising an unmissable theatrical experience. Reviews highlight Pullman's intricate world-building, exquisite prose, and the thought-provoking themes woven throughout the story.
