Attention all serious book collectors and fans of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. This undoubtedly beautiful package, cloth-bound in a classy red and adorned by numerous illustrations by master engraver and illustrator John Lawrence, is sure to be a must-purchase. A pint-sized pocket volume, Lyra's Oxford packages together a short story set in the same universe as his famous trilogy, a fold-out map of the alternate-reality city of Oxford which Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon inhabit, a short brochure for a cruise to The Levant aboard the SS Zenobia and a postcard from the inventor of the amber spyglass, Mary Malone. Pullman, in his introduction, suggests that the peripheral items within "might be connected with the story, or they might not; they might be connected to stories that haven't appeared yet. It's difficult to tell."

The story, "Lyra and the Birds", begins when Lyra and Pantalaimon spot a witch's daemon called Ragi being pursued over the rooftops of Oxford by a frenzied pack of birds. The daemon heads straight for Lyra and is given shelter. The creature was given Lyra's name as somebody who might help. The daemon is seeking one Sebastian Makepeace--an alchemist living in a part of Oxford known as Jericho. Together Lyra and Pan try to guide the daemon to the home of this man, but it is a journey fraught with more danger than they had at first anticipated.

Somehow, this is a book that puzzles and fascinates all at the same time. It's very sumptuous and lovingly crafted but tantalising brief. The fourth volume in Pullman's award-winning sequence is The Book of Dust and despite the author's reputation for taking his time in writing each of his longer works, it is now just too far away in the future to be funny anymore. (Age 10 and over)--John McLay -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verf�gbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Entweder ist das der Anfang oder das Ende 26. Oktober 2009

Von D. Nevermann

Format:Taschenbuch

Entweder hat die Gechichte nur einen Anfang, oder nur ein Ende. Für beides ist das Buch viel zu kurz. Es wirkte auf mich wie eine Einleitung, nur das danach nichts mehr kam. Wer jemanden kennt der das Buch hat, kann sich das ja mal für eine halbe Stunde ausleihen (länger braucht man auf keinen Fall). Insgesamt ist es irgendwie nett - aber eben keine "ganze" Geschichte.

better short and an sweet than no news of Lyra at all! 27. September 2005

Von fangrrrl

Everyone who purchases this book expecting it to be the long awaited next installment of the His Dark Materials story will probably be a bit disappointed. After all, it's only (only?) a short story about Lyra and Pan, while all the other great characters of the previous books are missing. Then again, I'd rather read a short story about a teenage Lyra while we're all waiting for the upcoming Book of Dust than simply go on Pullman withdrawal for who knows how long...
The book includes a map of Lyra's Oxford and (what I almost liked most about he book) a postcard of Oxford depicting among other things the famous park bench from The Amber Spyglass :-)
My final verdict is: don't expect too much (it's not at all as long as we are used to from the other books!) but try it anyway. If you are a fan of His Dark Materials, you are going to like it!

sweet but way too short! 26. Dezember 2003

Von Ein Kunde

I read the book in maybe 20 minutes or half an hour. For the money I paid for it that's just too little! True, the map of Oxford inside is fascinating, but I found the whole book a rather meager effort. The story is lovingly crafted but too short, it seems very rushed. After finishing it you're left sitting there wanting more information and more details.

I'd recommend it to anyone who has read the HDM trilogy, but it's not essential reading. Although some of the thoughts were sweet... Lyra's scattered thoughts and memories of Will for example did actually touch me.

So three stars: good story but too little of it.
