Kontrowersyjna reinterpretacja historii Jezusa Chrystusa… Maria powiła bliźniaków. Jezusa i Chrystusa. Jezus to otwarte, trochę łobuzerskie dziecko, które często wpada w kłopoty, ale zawsze kieruje się sercem. Chrystus jest chłopcem kalkulującym. Maria i Józef uważają Chrystusa za wybrańca bożego, przyzwyczajają go więc do tej myśli. Kiedy chłopcy dorastają, wychodzi na jaw, że to Jezus nawiązuje kontakt z Janem Chrzcicielem, umie rozmawiać z ludźmi, okazuje im współczucie i potrafi pociągnąć za sobą tłumy. Chrystus obserwuje brata zdumiony. Obcy namawia go wtedy do zapisywania wszystkich wydarzeń z życia Jezusa. Zaczyna powstawać Nowy Testament…

A sumptuous edition of four tales gloriously illustrated by Peter Bailey. Combining elements of fairy tale, humour, and spookiness, this is the perfect book for a cold winter's night. The stories are "The Firework-Maker's Daughter, I Was A Rat!, Clockwork" and "The Scarecrow & His Servant" and this is the first time they have been published together in one volume.

Auf seine unnachahmlich geschickte und magische Weise erzählt Pullman die Geschichte aller Geschichten: Die Zwillinge Jesus und Christus sind so unterschiedlich, wie nur Geschwister sein können. Jesus ist ein verträumter Visionär und Christus ein gerissenes Organisationstalent, der die Ideen seines Bruders umsetzt und so den Grundstein für das korrupte System Kirche legt. Es entsteht eine provokante Auslegung des Evangeliums. Pullman ist, da sind Gläubige und Atheisten sich einig, ein meisterhafter Erzähler, der im knappen und bildreichen Stil des Evangeliums polemisch und nachdenklich neue Sichtweisen formuliert.

This remarkable book offers a rich mixture of more than 19,000 words expressions, legends, folklore, general knowledge and choice morsels of trivia, with explanations of everything from elephant in the room to sick as a parrot, from Doctor Who to dwile flonking

Lyra, ragazzina impetuosa, appassionata, onestissima e ingenua bugiarda, vive al Jordan College di Oxford. Oxford non è lontana da Londra, e Londra è in Inghilterra. Ma il mondo di Lyra è ben diverso dal nostro. Oltre l'Oceano c'è l'America, ma lo stato più importante di quel continente si chiama Nuova Francia; giganteschi orsi corazzati regnano sull'Artico; lo studio della natura viene chiamato "teologia sperimentale". E soprattutto ogni essere umano ha il suo daimon: un compagno, una parte di sé di sesso opposto al proprio, grazie al quale nessuno deve temere la solitudine. Nel nostro universo vive Will, orgoglioso, sensibile, leale e coraggioso, ma sfuggente come un gatto: i due ragazzi, provenienti da mondi diversi, si incontrano, si scontrano e diventano amici per la pelle. Will è in possesso della lama sottile, un misterioso coltello che permette il passaggio tra i mondi. Lyra però è al centro di un'antica profezia delle streghe e la Chiesa ha decretato la sua morte. Will e Lyra sono coscienti di avere un compito importante da svolgere, ma non sanno quale sia: perché la profezia si avveri non dovranno obbedire a un destino predefinito, ma essere liberi di scegliere

Nous avions quitté les deux jeunes héros, Lyra et Will, alors qu'ils venaient d'être séparés. Lyra a été enlevée par sa redoutable mère, Mme Coulter.
