Philip Pullman regresa al mundo de La Materia Oscura con este segundo volumen de la serie EL LIBRO DE LA OSCURIDAD. Ahora en HBO con Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, Andrew Scott, and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
En este segundo volumen de la serie seguimos la historia de Lyra veinte años después. Ahora está en la universidad y sigue viviendo en el Jordan College. Desde su viaje al Ártico, Lyra ha encontrado ahora cierta estabilidad, pero su presencia se verá amenazada por el creciente poder del Consejo.
La relación de Lyra y su daemonion Pantalaimon también se está volviendo cada vez más problemática. Lyra es invitada por un grupo de académicos, todos con diferentes especialidades, a unirse a una expedición para explorar una región remota en una parte de la antigua Ruta de la Seda, donde se han producido algunos incidentes extraños. En su corazón está una mayor exploración del verdadero sentido del Polvo, así como una búsqueda desgarradora de aquello que más ama en el mundo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The #1 New York Times Bestseller!
Return to the world of His Dark Materials—now an HBO original series starring Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, Andrew Scott, and Lin-Manuel Miranda—in the second volume of Philip Pullman’s new bestselling masterwork The Book of Dust.
The windows between the many worlds have been sealed and the momentous adventures of Lyra Silvertongue’s youth are long behind her—or so she thought. Lyra is now a twenty-year-old undergraduate at St. Sophia’s College and intrigue is swirling around her once more. Her daemon Pantalaimon is witness to a brutal murder, and the dying man entrusts them with secrets that carry echoes from their past.
The more Lyra is drawn into these mysteries, the less she is sure of. Even the events of her own past come into question when she learns of Malcolm Polstead’s role in bringing her to Jordan College.
Now Lyra and Malcolm will travel far beyond the confines of Oxford, across Europe and into the Levant, searching for a city haunted by daemons, and a desert said to hold the truth of Dust. The dangers they face will challenge everything they thought they knew about the world, and about themselves.
Praise for The Book of Dust
“It’s a stunning achievement, this universe Pullman has created and continues to build on.” —The New York Times
“Pullman’s writing is simple, unpretentious, beautiful, true. The conclusion to The Book of Dust can’t come soon enough.”—The Washington Post
