PHILIP PULLMAN
Malcolm Polstedt is the type of boy who observes everything but goes unnoticed. And so it was probably inevitable to become a spy… Malcolm's father owns a trout called The Trout on the banks of the Thames, and all of Oxford crosses its doorstep. Malcolm and his demon, Asta, eavesdrop on news and gossip, but during a winter that rains incessantly, a secret message ends up in the boy's hands talking about a dangerous substance, the Dust. The spy to whom the message was addressed asks him to keep his eyes open and he sees suspects everywhere: the explorer Lord Asriel running away from something, agents from the Directorate, a Gypsy named Koram and a beautiful woman with a devilish monkey for a demon. Everyone is looking for the same thing: a little girl, still a baby, named Lyra. Lyra is the type of girl who attracts others like a magnet. And Malcolm will face a lot of dangers and will make huge sacrifices in order to get her safe and sound from the chaos. THE TRILOGUE OF THE WORLD is a reference point in world literature, with sales that have exceeded 17.5 million copies and translations in 40 languages.
