"The storybook I would love to be trapped in"
There is this series “His Dark Materials” written by Philp Pullman which I really just love. I would be elaborating about the first book, titled “The Golden Compass”.
It all begins with a young girl name Lyra. In her world, humans are not just a singular soul. Instead, their souls are divided into two. Half of their soul resides in their own body .The other half of their soul takes the form of an animal, called dœmons. Dœmons are their companion which they can interact with. Lyra was just a girl that grew up in the halls of Jordan College. She had no relatives besides her Uncle, Lord Asriel.
This magical world is inhibited by plenty of beings, ranging from witches to armoured bears. This world is ruled by a immense power, The Authority. They are mighty angels who are ruthless and slaughters anyone who stand against them.There are particles that are called dust, which in this book remains a mystery. Lyra’s epic adventure begins when she was given the Golden Compass. Taken under the wing of the infamous Mrs Coutler, Lyra begin preperation to her journey to the North. In the mean time, there were numerous kidnapping of children. These kidnappers were named “The Gobblers”. Unknown to Lyra, Mrs Coutler was the one who is leading these Gobblers. It was not long before Lyra found out the horrific truth Mrs Coutler. The Golden Compass has the ability to tell it’s reader almost any information. Since it is such a complicated piece of relic, it can only be read by a handful of people, including Lyra. However, there was once a witch phrophecy which foretold the coming of a human girl,who will be able to end the reign of the Authority. Lyra is that girl.
Lyra managed to get herself free from Mrs Coutler and met the gyptians, a group of people living in the great sea. As Lord Asriel, Lyra’s uncle had time and time again aided the gyptians, the leader of the gyptians John Faa took responsibility of Lyra and shielded her from Mrs Coutler’s men. The Gobblers had taken many gyptians kid to the north, where it was said that the Gobblers were conducting experiments on. By Lord Faa’s order, the gyptian will sail to the north and attempt to rescue their children and exterminate these Gobblers. In their journey, the gyptians recruited a armoured bear named Iorek and an aeronaut called Scoresby.
They reach the north and ventured forth. However, they were heavily ambushed and in the midst of the battle, Lyra had gotten herself kidnapped. She was brought forth to the place where the Gobblers did their experiment. In there, Lyra found out that they were trying to cut the bond between a human and their dœmon without killing off the human. Lyra nearly got her dœmon diseccted but she was rescued by Mrs Coutler. Meanwhile, the gyptian had found the facility and had laid seige on it. The facility used by the Gobblers were guarded by well trained mercenaries. But with the courage of the gyptians, the singular might of Iorek and the aid of the witches, the gyptians manage to secure the facility.
Lord Asriel was having tougher luck as he was captured by the armoured bears. Their leader was Iofur. After being rescued, Lyra found herself yet again captured. This time by the armoured bears as well. She managed to trick Iofur in having a duel with Iorek. Lyra found out that Iorek was a prince of the armoured bears but was outcasted. So if Iorek beat Iofur, he would regain his title as king. Iorek came to the kingdom of the armoured bear, with the thoughts of rescuing Lyra, but was overjoyed when he was told that he was to battle Iofur. A fierce battle raged, but Iorek emerged victorious. Lord Asriel was then released. He opened a portal into the realm where the Authority resides, with the intention of overthrowing the Authority. This is how the story end for this book “The Golden Compass”.
