The Gyptians form an expedition to the Arctic with Lyra to rescue the children.
Lyra recruits Iorek Byrnison , an armoured bear , and his human aeronaut friend, Lee Scoresby. She also learns that Lord Asriel has been exiled, guarded by the bears on Svalbard. Lyra is captured and taken to Bolvangar, where she is reunited with Roger. Coulter tells Lyra that the intercision prevents the onset of troubling adult emotions. Lyra and the children are rescued by Scoresby, Iorek, the Gyptians, and Serafina Pekkala 's flying witch clan. She tricks Iofur into fighting Iorek, who arrives with the others to rescue Lyra. Iorek kills Iofur and takes his place as the rightful king.
He tells Lyra that the Church believes Dust is the basis of sin , and plans to visit the other universes and destroy its source. Lyra determines to stop Asriel and discover the source of Dust for herself. Here Lyra meets Will Parry , a twelve-year-old boy from our world. Venturing into Will's our world, Lyra meets Dr. Mary Malone, a physicist who is researching what she calls Shadow Particles, which are the same as Lyra's Dust. One edge of the knife can divide even subatomic particles and form subtle divisions in space, creating portals between worlds; the other edge easily cuts through any form of matter.
Kiss or Kill Under the Northern Lights, Vol. 2
After meeting with witches from Lyra's world, they journey on. Scoresby dies defending Grumman from the forces of the Church. Grumman turns out to be Will's long-lost father and he succeeds in reuniting with his son before he is murdered by a witch who loved him but was turned down.
After his father's death, Will discovers that Lyra has been kidnapped and he is approached by two angels requesting his aid. The Amber Spyglass tells of Lyra's kidnapping by her mother, Mrs. Coulter , an agent of the Magisterium who has learned of the prophecy identifying Lyra as the next Eve. Will ignores the angels; with the help of a local girl named Ama, the Bear King Iorek Byrnison , and Lord Asriel 's Gallivespian spies, the Chevalier Tialys and the Lady Salmakia , he rescues Lyra from the cave where her mother has hidden her from the Magisterium, which has become determined to kill her before she yields to temptation and sin like the original Eve.
Mary Malone , a scientist from Will's world interested in "shadows" or Dust in Lyra's world , travels to a land populated by strange sentient creatures called Mulefa.
There she comes to understand the true nature of Dust, which is both created by and nourishes life which has become self-aware. Lord Asriel and the reformed Mrs. Coulter work to destroy the Authority's Regent Metatron. They succeed, but themselves suffer annihilation in the process by pulling Metatron into the abyss. The Authority himself dies of his own frailty when Will and Lyra free him from the crystal prison wherein Metatron had trapped him, able to do so because an attack by cliff-ghasts kills or drives away the prison's protectors.
The book ends with Will and Lyra falling in love but realising they cannot live together in the same world, because all windows — except one from the underworld to the world of the Mulefa — must be closed to prevent the loss of Dust, because with every window opening, a Spectre would be created and that meant Will must never use the knife again. Also because each of them can only live full lives in their native worlds. This is the temptation that Mary was meant to give them; to help them fall in love and then choose whether they should stay together or not.
Lyra loses her ability to intuitively read the alethiometer and determines to learn how to use her conscious mind to achieve the same effect. It is the physical manifestation of a person's 'inner being', soul or spirit.

Pullman has identified three major literary influences on His Dark Materials: Critics have compared the trilogy with The Chronicles of Narnia , by C.

On 19 May , Pullman attended the British Library in London to receive formal congratulations for his work from culture secretary Tessa Jowell "on behalf of the government". At the time, only His Dark Materials and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire amongst the top five works lacked a screen-adaptation the film version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , which came fifth, was released in His Dark Materials has occasioned controversy, primarily amongst some Christian groups.
Cynthia Grenier, in the Catholic Culture , said: His Church is an instrument of oppression, and true heroism consists of overthrowing both". Donohue of the Catholic League has described Pullman's trilogy as "atheism for kids". In a November interview, Pullman was asked to respond to the Catholic Herald calling his books "the stuff of nightmares" and "worthy of the bonfire".
I think it's comical, it's just laughable". Pullman expressed surprise over what he considers to be a relatively low level of criticism for His Dark Materials on religious grounds, saying "I've been surprised by how little criticism I've got.
Harry Potter's been taking all the flak Meanwhile, I've been flying under the radar, saying things that are far more subversive than anything poor old Harry has said. My books are about killing God". Pullman found support from some other Christians, most notably from Rowan Williams , the former Archbishop of Canterbury spiritual head of the Anglican Communion , who argued that Pullman's attacks focus on the constraints and dangers of dogmatism and the use of religion to oppress , not on Christianity itself. Pullman renames various common objects or ideas of our world with archaic terms or new words of his own.
Below are some of these renamings and new words. The first of two short books, Lyra's Oxford takes place two years after the timeline of The Amber Spyglass. A witch who seeks revenge for her son's death in the war against the Authority draws Lyra, now 15, into a trap. Birds mysteriously rescue her and Pan, and she makes the acquaintance of an alchemist, formerly the witch's lover. After winning his hot-air balloon, Scoresby heads to the North, landing on the Arctic island Novy Odense, where he is pulled into a conflict between the oil tycoon Larsen Manganese, the corrupt mayoral candidate Ivan Poliakov, and his longtime enemy from the Dakota Country, Pierre McConville.

And that will be Will's book. It was first broadcast in , and re-broadcast in both and in , and was and released by the BBC on CD and cassette.

This version toured the UK and included a performance in Pullman's hometown of Oxford. Pullman made a cameo appearance much to the delight of the audience and Oxford media. The production finished up at West Yorkshire Playhouse in June Directed by Chris Weitz , the production had a mixed reception, and though worldwide sales were strong, its U. The filmmakers obscured the explicitly Biblical character of the Authority to avoid offending viewers. Weitz declared that he would not do the same for the planned sequels.
I will not be involved with any 'watering down' of books two and three, since what I have been working towards the whole time in the first film is to be able to deliver on the second and third".
