Ebben a világban ugyanis minden egyes embernek van egy „szellemállata”, egy lény, aki folyton ott van vele, élete fogytáig elkíséri, ha az egyik meghal, vele hal a másik is. Ebben a párhuzamos univerzumban vannak még különös dolgok: páncélos jegesmedvék (hajlok rá, hogy nincs kúlabb dolog egy páncélos jegesmedvénél), boszorkányok, no és persze a Por, ami valamiért rettegéssel tölti el az egyházatyák (következésképpen: maga a hatalom) szívét. Minek következtében a felvilágosodás érdeklődés hiányában elmaradt, nincs szekularizált Európa, és mindenféle erőszakosnak tűnő egyházi csoport presszionálja a polgári létezést. Ennek kulcsa, hogy Kálvin János itt pápa lett, aki Genfből konkrétan Rómát csinált*. Ami bomlik ki szépen, lassan, és bevallom, engem igen-igen izgalomban tart.
minek is nevezzem? Vallásfilozófiai szál, mondjuk.
mi is ez? A címke szerint ifjúsági regény. It's easy to see why this book has become so popular during the 1990s: it's a quintessential modern classic of the fantasy genre, and I am glad I finally decided to get over myself and give the genre another well-deserved chance. Pullman's exploration of the importance of science and religion in this first installment of the "His Dark Materials" series invites the reader on a journey through an interesting world filled with complex society dynamics. That's the most powerful aspect a fantasy writer can choose to adopt for their stories, in my opinion: to be able to write something that can be classified as enjoyment, but also easily holds up for more demanding readerships seeking more intellectual elements. This book doesn't necessarily have to be classified as a children's fantasy novel - it can easily be enjoyed by teenagers, but also adults will likely be able to find a compelling story in here. Much has been said already about the originality of this novel, and a lot of criticism has (not always undeservedly) been shed on the character development. However, Pullman's novel came at exactly the right time to convince me that the genre hadn't yet lost me completely. It does not store any personal data.Philip Pullman's famous fantasy story "The Golden Compass" had been on my to-read list for a very long time, my copy of it being more and more bathed in dust over the last couple of years as it waited on my shelf before I could finally bring myself to read it.įor quite some time, I hadn't been in a particularly fitting mood for anything fantasy-related when it came to reading - except for listening to Paolini's Eragon audiobooks, my interest in the genre had somewhat faded as I tried to read 'serious' literature more regularly (whatever that means).
