The epic struggle becomes clear, for us if not for Lyra and her new friend

5 stelle

In The Golden Compass, book 1 of this series, we met Lyra, the half-wild charge of a scholar of an Oxford University in a parallel universe, and follow her adventures with warrior polar bears to the gates of a new world. This is book 2 of the series, in which Lyra meets Will, who had fled 'our' world into a parallel world to escape shadowy men who are pursuing him to obtain the papers of Will's long-lost explorer father.

Per dirla in maniera un po' più chiara, il tema di base è la lotta dell'Uomo, armato solo del suo libero arbitrio contro l'Autorità (chiamatela Dio, se volete). In questo volume la lotta non è ancora iniziata: lord Asriel, dopo avere scoperto alla fine del libro precedente come creare un ponte tra i vari mondi paralleli, sta radunando un'armata. Ma questa storia resta solo sullo sfondo: qui continuiamo a seguire Lyra che si ritrova prima in un mondo intermedio infestato dagli Spettri, che rubano l'anima agli adulti, ma non possono toccare i bambini; e poi finisce nella nostra Terra, dove incontra un altro ragazzino, John Parry, che sta cercando suo padre sparito chissà …
