Så var der ordet Støv, med stort S, som om det ikke var almindeligt støv, men noget særligt … Malcolm Polsteads liv på kroen ved floden er trygt og rart, selvom det til tider er lidt kedeligt. Men der er en hel særlig vinter på vej, hvor det vil regne som aldrig før, og kampen mellem videnskab, religion og politik er begyndt. Denne vinter mister Malcolm alt, hvad han kender. Og midt i uvejret får han ansvaret for spædbarnet Lyra, og sammen må de begive sig ud på en rejse, der vil ændre deres liv for altid.

Men Cittàgazze er et uhyggeligt sted. De øde gader hjemsøges af genfærd, som spiser sjæle, og fra luften højt oppe høres vingeslag fra engle.

Det Gyldne Kompas

Skyggernes kniv

Will har netop haft en frygtelig og sindsoprivende oplevelse; og derefter finder han ud af, at Lyra er forsvundet. Nu befinder han sig alene i et uvejsomt og stormfuldt bjergområde. To engle kommer til ham og fortæller ham, at han som bærer af Skyggernes kniv har en uhyre vigtig mission, og at han skal følge med dem nordpå til Lord Asriels fæstning, hvor et slag af kosmiske dimensioner er under opsejling. Men Will nægter at adlyde dem, for han har kun én tanke i hovedet: Han må finde Lyra. Og det viser sig at være en større udfordring, end han havde forestillet sig. Da han endelig finder hende, kastes de to børn ud på en uhyggelig og farefuld færd, der blandt andet fører dem til de dødes rige, til afsløring af hemmeligheden om Støv, samt opdagelse af kærlighedens sande væsen. Ravkikkerten er tredje bind i trilogien. De to første bind Det gyldne kompas og Skyggernes kniv er ligeledes indlæst som lydbøger.

Ravkikkerten

Første bind i Philip Pullmans spektakulære fantasy-trilogi om 'Det gyldne kompas' - en klassiker inden for fantasylitteraturen, oversat til 39 sprog, som har tryllebundet millioner af børn og voksne over hele verden. Den nysgerrige og handlekraftige Lyra vokser op på Jordan-kollegiet i Oxford. Ved et tilfælde hvirvles hun ind i et storslået og indviklet drama fuldt af mysterier: Hvad er det, hendes onkel, Lord Asriel, har fundet på sin arktiske ekspedition? Hvad har den mystiske fru Coulter med Lord Asriels opdagelse at gøre? Og hvorfor forsvinder der igen børn fra Oxford? Lyra begiver sig i Lord Asriels fodspor mod nord, hvor panserbjørnene vogter over deres uindtagelige fæstning, og hvor heksene suser gennem den isnende luft. Bag dem begynder en verden, som hidtil har været utilgængelig for mennesker... Pullman skriver om livets store temaer og dilemmaer, om kærligheden og døden, om venskab, troskab og ondskab, om tilværelsens dybere mening - med en dybde og en indlevelse, der ikke lader nogen læser uberørt. Pullmans trilogi har vundet utallige priser, inklusive Carnegie-medaljen, Guardian Fiction Prize, Whitbread Book of the Year samt 'børnenes Nobel-pris': Astrid Lindgren-prisen.

Det gyldne kompas

I 'Forestillinger om Støv 2 - Det Hemmelige Samfund' - får vi den dramatiske historie om, hvordan det gik Lyra efter de eventyrlige begivenheder i 'Det Gyldne Kompas'-trilogien. Lyra har stadig Det Gyldne Kompas og er nu blevet handlekraftig ung kvinde. Hun tager endnu en gang kampen op mod de magtfulde, religiøse kræfter, der truer hende og den verden, hun kender. Vi følger hende på en farefuld rejse, der bringer hende langt væk fra Oxford, til fremmede lande fulde af ukendte farer, men også gode mennesker, der hjælper hende i kampen mod Kirken. Undervejs kommer hun i kontakt med Det Hemmelige Samfund, der både udfordrer hendes verdenssyn og hjælper hende med den farlige mission, hun har taget på sig. Malcolm Polstead, der som dreng (i bind 1) bragte den spæde Lyra til Jordan-kollegiet i Oxford i sin kano, 'La Belle Sauvage', dukker også op i denne historie. Hans mod og beslutsomhed fornægter sig ikke i den voksne udgave af ham, og Lyras og Malcolms skæbner væves endnu en gang ind i hinanden. Her er et fantasydrama, der rummer aspekter af politik, religion og kærlighed og trækker tråde til den verden, vi kender. I et interview har Philip Pullman selv sagt om denne nye trilogi, at han gerne vil udforske vigtigheden af den menneskelige forestillingsevne, farerne ved snæversynethed, dogmatisme og en skråsikkerhed, der udelukker alle andre synsvinkler end ens egen. Disse destruktive tendenser kommer i særlig grad til udtryk i relation til politik, religion og videnskab, og det er nogle af de elementer, der indgår i historien om Lyras rejse i 'Forestillinger om Støv 2 - Det Hemmelige Samfund'.

Winner of Best Solo Narration at the New York Festival Radio Awards 2020 It is twenty years since the events of La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One unfolded and saw the baby Lyra Belacqua begin her life-changing journey. It is almost ten years since readers left Lyra and the love of her young life, Will Parry, on a park bench in Oxford's Botanic Gardens at the end of the ground-breaking, bestselling His Dark Materials sequence. Now, in The Secret Commonwealth, we meet Lyra Silvertongue. And she is no longer a child . . . The second volume of Philip Pullman's The Book of Dust sees Lyra, now twenty years old, and her daemon Pantalaimon, forced to navigate their relationship in a way they could never have imagined, and drawn into the complex and dangerous factions of a world that they had no idea existed. Pulled along on his own journey too is Malcolm; once a boy with a boat and a mission to save a baby from the flood, now a man with a strong sense of duty and a desire to do what is right. Theirs is a world at once familiar and extraordinary, and they must travel far beyond the edges of Oxford, across Europe and into Asia, in search for what is lost - a city haunted by daemons, a secret at the heart of a desert, and the mystery of the elusive Dust. The Secret Commonwealth is truly a book for our times; a powerful adventure and a thought-provoking look at what it is to understand yourself, to grow up and make sense of the world around you. This is storytelling at its very best from one of our greatest writers. "Michael Sheen throws himself wholeheartedly into narrating this sequel to La Belle Sauvage and listeners will be rapt. For the ever-expanding international cast of characters, Sheen conjures a multitude of accents and delivers rapid-fire conversations between them.

Brought to you by Penguin. A mesmerising episode from the universe of His Dark Materials and The Book of Dust, giving us an extraordinary insight into this world and its characters. When Lyra is studying at Oxford University, she comes across the story of Lee Scoresby and Iorek Byrnisson's first meeting, many years ago, along with much evidence of the adventure that brought them together. She discovers that when a young Texan balloonist Lee came down to earth in the harbour of an Arctic town in the North, little did he realise that he is about to be caught in a war between the residents of the town and the huge arctic bears that also live there. And when Lee meets one of these bears - Iorek - for the first time, they cement a friendship that will continue throughout their lives, as the tensions in the town threaten to erupt ... ©2008 Philip Pullman (P)2023 Penguin Audio

Once Upon a Time in the North

A two-play dramatisation of Philip Pullman's extraordinary award-winning fantasy trilogy, first seen at the National Theatre. His Dark Materials takes us on a thrilling journey through worlds familiar and unknown. For Lyra and Will, its two central characters, it's a coming of age and a transforming spiritual experience. Their great quest demands a savage struggle against the most dangerous of enemies. They encounter fantastical creatures in parallel worlds – rebellious angels, soul-eating spectres, child-catching Gobblers and the armoured bears and witch-clans of the Arctic. Finally, before reaching, perhaps, the republic of heaven, they must visit the land of the dead. Note to performers: although conceived for a theatre with rich resources, this adaptation can also be staged in imaginative ways without the aid of sophisticated technology. 'Nicholas Wright... has risen to the challenge with brilliance' - Mail on Sunday '"Unstageable" was the first reaction of the National Theatre's artistic director, Nicholas Hytner, to the idea of dramatising His Dark Materials. But last night's opening has triumphantly proved him wrong' - Sunday Times 'Children's theatre of an uncommon maturity and ambition... dazzling in just the right way... moments of heart-stopping simplicity' - Independent 'The hottest ticket in town long before press day... Book to see it next Christmas' - Financial Times

His Dark Materials: The Complete BBC Radio Collection

Fantasiakirjallisuuden helmi! Huikean trilogian 3. osa jälleen saatavilla. Lyra lähtee uhkarohkealle matkalle Kuolleiden maahan. Mutta mitä pohjimmiltaan on Tomu, jonka näkemiseen tarvitaan erikoinen kaukoputki? Lyra haluaa pelastaa ystävänsä Rogerin Kuolleiden maasta, vaikka kukaan ei ole koskaan palannut sieltä. Mukana pelastusretkellä on Will, jonka salaperäisellä veitsellä voi leikata ikkunan mihin tahansa maailmaan. Mystisen Tomun arvoituksen ratkaisu riippuu paljolti tohtori Mary Malonesta ja hänen rakentamastaan ihmeellisestä kaukoputkesta. Lyra ja Will joutuvat tekemään äärimmäisen vaikean ratkaisun, josta riippuu kaikkien kohtalo.

Universumien Tomu

Maaginen kaukoputki

Fantasiakirjallisuuden helmi vihdoin äänikirjoina! Universumien tomu -trilogian toisessa osassa Lyra saa matkakumppanin autiokaupungissa, josta kaikki aikuiset ovat kadonneet. Oudossa Cittàgazzen kaupungissa Lyra tapaa Willin, joka Lyran tavoin on kotoisin toisesta maailmasta. Vaikka Lyra pääsee Tomun arvoituksen jäljille, ihmeellinen aletiometri käskee häntä etsimään pojan kanssa tämän kauan sitten kadonneen isän. Will saa haltuunsa salaperäisen veitsen, jossa on maagisia voimia. Samalla hänelle veitsen kantajana siirtyy suuri vastuu. Moninaiset vaarat uhkaavat nuoria, kun he lähtevät etsintämatkalleen maailmojen välisten rajojen hämärtyessä.

Salaperäinen veitsi

Fantasian mestarin odotettu sarja nivoutuu palkitun Universumien tomu -trilogian maailmaan. Avausosa sijoittuu trilogiaa edeltävään aikaan. Yksitoistavuotias Malcolm kuulee, että läheisen luostarin sisaret ovat ottaneet hoiviinsa vauvan. Käydessään auttamassa luostarin askareissa poika kiintyy Lyra-vauvaan, johon tuntuu liittyvän jotain salamyhkäistä ja vaarallista. Malcolm saa sattumalta haltuunsa merkillisen tammenterhon, jonka oikea omistaja tapetaan. Pian hän joutuu tekemisiin salaisen järjestön kanssa. Rankkasateet lähestyvät Oxfordia, ja äkkiä koko tienoo tulvii. Kun Malcom pelastaa palvelustyttö Alicen kanssa Lyran, vaarallistakin vaarallisempi kanoottimatka kohti Lontoota alkaa.

Lyran kirjat

Vedenpaisumus

Outo tapahtumaketju tempaa Lyran Oxfordista maailmalle. Mestarikertoja jatkaa HBO:n sarjasta tuttua tarinaa. Lyran daimoni Pantalaimon näkee hirveän henkirikoksen. Pantalaimon vie tuntemattoman vainajan vähäiset henkilökohtaiset tavarat Lyralle. Mutta joku havittelee kuolleen miehen omaisuutta, sillä Lyran oxfordilaiseen opiskelija-asuntoon murtaudutaan. Lyra olisi pahassa pulassa, ellei saisi apua ystävältään Malcolmilta, josta on tullut yliopiston opettaja. Ilmenee, että kuollut mies on palannut Aasiasta tutkimusasemalta, johon liittyy jotain vaarallista. Miten tapahtumiin kytkeytyy salaperäinen, himoittu ruusulajike? Kun Pantalaimon häipyy omille teilleen, Lyran on lähdettävä perään.

Ruusunmetsästäjät

Fantasiakirjallisuuden helmi vihdoin äänikirjoina! Universumien tomu -trilogian avausosassa Lyra joutuu kauas Pohjoiseen jäätiköiden, karhujen ja noitien maahan. Lyra on elänyt koko lapsuutensa perheettä tiedemiesten parissa oxfordilaisessa collegessa. Kun vilkas tyttö uteliaisuuttaan pujahtaa huoneeseen, johon häneltä on pääsy kielletty, mikään ei ole enää ennallaan. Lyra päätyy salaperäiseen Pohjolaan, maahan johon liittyvät kadonneet lapset ja arvoituksellinen Tomu. Onneksi hänellä on apunaan kompassin kaltainen aletiometri. Tuo ihmeellinen kapine antaa vastauksen henkilölle, joka osaa tulkita sen symboleita. Lyralla on luonnostaan sen tulkitsemisen taito.

Kultainen kompassi

Philip Pullman erzählt eine Alternativgeschichte zum Gründungsmythos des Christentums: Er erzählt von den Zwillingen Jesus und Christus. Jesus ist ein verträumter Visionär, Christus ein gerissenes Organisationstalent, das den Grundstein für das korrupte System Kirche legt. Aus diesem Gegensatz entsteht eine moderne fiktive Geschichte von beeindruckender Logik und mit provokanter Auslegung des Evangeliums.(Laufzeit: 4h 28)

Der gute Herr Jesus und der Schurke Christus

Will y Lyra, cuyos destinos están entrelazados en virtud de unas fuerzas radicadas más allá de sus propios mundos, se han visto separados de forma violenta. Deben volver a encontrarse, porque tienen por delante la mayor guerra que haya habido nunca... y un viaje a un tenebroso lugar del que nunca ha regresado nadie... "Philip Pullman. Norwich, Inglaterra. 19 de octubre de 1946. Estudió en el Exeter College de Oxford. Tras una novela de ciencia ficción publicada en 1978 decidió especializarse por fin en la novela infantil y juvenil mientras trabajaba para el Westminster College de Oxford. Su primer gran éxito le llegó en 1995 con la publicación de La brújula dorada, primera parte de una serie de gran éxito en todo el mundo y que fue llevada al cine. A lo largo de su carrera, Pullman ha recibido numerosos premios, como la Carnegie Medal, el Premio Guardian de Literatura Infantil y Juvenil o el Memorial Astrid Lindgren."
