HIS DARK MATERIALS IS SOON TO BE AN HBO ORIGINAL SERIES STARRING DAFNE KEEN, RUTH WILSON, JAMES McAVOY, AND LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA! The unforgettable His Dark Materials trilogy that began with The Golden Compass—the modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time"—and continued with The Subtle Knife, reaches its astonishing conclusion with The Amber Spyglass. Throughout the worlds, the forces of both heaven and hell are mustering to take part in Lord Asriel's audacious rebellion. Each player in this epic drama has a role to play—and a sacrifice to make. Witches, angels, spies, assassins, tempters, and pretenders, no one will remain unscathed. Lyra and Will have the most dangerous task of all. They must journey to a gray-lit world where no living soul has ever gone and from which there is no escape. As war rages and Dust drains from the sky, the fate of the living—and the dead—comes to depend on Lyra and Will. On the choices they make in love, and for love, forevermore. A #1 New York Times Bestseller Winner of the Whitbread Award Winner of the British Book Award (Children's) Published in 40 Countries

作者简介 菲力普・普曼Philip Pullman 「没有了故事,我们将不足以被称为人类。」 生于英格兰诺里奇(Norwich),父亲是飞行员,小时曾随着父亲住过澳洲。在他七岁那年,父亲因飞机失事丧生,母亲改嫁后带著他搬至北威尔斯。历史悠久的威尔斯地区群山环绕,有着许多传说与神话,这些都影响了日后普曼的写作风格。在威尔斯求学时接触到两位作家的作品:十七世纪英国诗人约翰·弥尔顿的《失乐园》,以及诗人、画家威廉·布雷克,他为此深深着迷,《失乐园》更成为后来写作「黑暗元素三部曲」的重要元素。 大学就读于牛津大学埃克塞特学院(Exeter College)英文系,不过成绩普通。毕业后曾在中学担任教职,70年代的英国没有课纲,他尽情对孩子们阐述从神话到荷马史诗等各式各样的作品,并为每学期末的话剧演出担任编剧和导演,这些素材都成为后续作品的养分。普曼虽热心教学,却自称不太能认同过分强调考试的教育制度,一九九五年出版的《黄金罗盘》于隔年同时夺得英国儿童小说卡内基奖章与《卫报》儿童小说奖,普曼亦辞去教职,全力投入写作,除了获奖无数的代表作「黑暗元素三部曲」及以维多利亚时代为背景的「英伦悬疑四部曲」外,亦著有许多单本长、短篇小说如《发条钟》、《我是老鼠!》与《卡斯坦伯爵》等作品。他从未自我设限的写作精神,打破了年龄与类型的界限,广受大人小孩的喜爱,至今仍是活跃于文坛的说故事大师。在2017年,以「黑暗元素三部曲」同名主角「莱拉」,再推出重量级《尘之书三部曲Ⅰ:野美人号》,媒体誉为:「很少书能让我们愿意等十七年,但『尘之书』绝对是其一。」 2008年,普曼获《泰晤士报》选为1945年以来*伟大的五十个英国作家之一;2009年获牛津大学授予荣誉文学博士;并于2019年的新年授勋(New Year Honours)获颁爵士勋衔。
