Superb...Wonder-filled." -- "The Washington Post Book World" It was no ordinary life for a young girl: living among scholars in the hallowed halls of Jordan College and tearing unsupervised through Oxford's motley streets on mad quests for adventure. But Lyra's greatest adventure would begin closer to home, the day she heard hushed talk of an extraordinary particle. Microscopic in size, the magical dust--found only in the vast Arctic expanse of the North--was rumored to possess profound properties that could unite whole universes. But there were those who feared the particle and would stop at nothing to destroy it. Catapulted into the heart of a terrible struggle, Lyra was forced to seek aid from witches, gypsies, and formidable armored bears. And as she journeyed into unbelievable danger, she had not the faintest clue that she alone was destined to win, or to lose, this more-than-mortal battle . . . "Very grand indeed...Scene after scene of power and beauty." -- "The New York Times" "A rousing, page-turning adventure that promises to please fantasy readers of all ages." -- "Library Journal" (starred review) "Powerful...sparkles with childlike wonder." -- "The Boston Sunday Globe

Eines der schönsten Fantasybücher, das bestimmt nicht nur für Kinder und Jugendliche geschrieben ist. Ich (24) habe das Buch dieses Jahr zum ersten Mal gelesen und finde die wunderschöne und sehr sehr spannende Geschichte von Lyra einmalig. Ich bin abgetaucht in eine besondere Welt, in der jedoch nicht alles schön ist, sondern manchmal aus gnadenlos und böse. Die Protagonistin ist sehr vielschichtig und nimmt uns mit auf eine wundervolle Reise. Alles in allem hat Pullman ein Werk geschaffen, bei dem jede Generation auf ihre Kosten kommt.
