PELĒKĀ PŪCE

 SEIDŽO UN VIŅAS BEBRU PIEDZĪVOJUMI

RĪGA «LIESMA» 1978

 Varoņi un notikumi, kas aprakstīti šai grāmatā, ņemti no dzīves.

Mednieks Lielā Spalva bija pirmais Pelēkās Pūces skolotājs, kas mācīja pazīt tam zvēru takas. Kanu laiva, ko viņš pats savām rokām bija taisījis no bērza tāss, ilgi glabājās pedagoģiskās skolas muzejā Toronto. Pelēkā Pūce redzēja šo laivu tur 191). gadā.

Bērnus — Seidžo un Sepīenu Pelēkā Pūce labi pazina savās jaunības dienās.

Lasītājam droši vien būs interesanti uzzināt, ka drīz vien pēc grāmatā aprakstītajiem notikumiem mežs daudzu jūdžu platībā kopā ar Bērzupi un dīķi, kur dzīvoja bebri, tika ietverts nacionālā parka teritorijā. Medības šeit tika noliegtas, un pilnīgi iespējams, ka abi šā stāsta varoņi — bebrēni Cile« vijs un Čikenijs nodzīvojuši dzimtajā dīķī līdz sirmam vecumam.

Philip Pullman decide revisitar la historia más influyente de todos los tiempos y construye una versión ingeniosa y polémica de la vida de Jesús. Todo comienza cuando la virgen María tiene gemelos: Jesús y Cristo. Desde pequeños los hermanos son muy diferentes. Jesús es apasionado y revolucionario, Cristo es calculador y realista. Mientras Jesús detesta las jerarquías y el status quo, Cristo ansía pasar a la Historia y asentar los cimientos de la Iglesia.<

La maldición del rubí es el primer número de Sally en donde se nos presenta a una chica de 16 educada para ser una mujer independiente, en un siglo donde la mujer no lo era tanto. Sus conocimientos en economía, finanzas e inversiones igualan y superan a los mejores en su tiempo, como lo fué su padre.

En fin. Sally no será lo mejor del mundo, sin embargo logra conjugar aventuras infantiles y una trama un tanto detectivesca.

„Magiczny nóż” to druga część trylogii „Mroczne materie”. Akcja powieści rozgrywa się w trzech wszechświatach – w naszym świecie, w świecie znanym z pierwszej części „Zorza północna”, który jest podobny do naszego, lecz równocześnie odmienny, oraz w nowym, obcym świecie, który różni się od tamtych obu.<

The Amber Spyglass brings the intrigue of The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife to a heartstopping close, marking the third volume as the most powerful of the trilogy. Along with the return of Lyra, Will, Mrs. Coulter, Lord Asriel, Dr. Mary Malone, and Iorek Byrnison the armored bear, The Amber Spyglass introduces a host of new characters: the Mulefa, mysterious wheeled creatures with the power to see Dust; Gallivespian Lord Roke, a hand-high spy-master to Lord Asriel; and Metatron, a fierce and mighty angel. And this final volume brings startling revelations, too: the painful price Lyra must pay to walk through the land of the dead, the haunting power of Dr. Malone's amber spyglass, and the names of who will live—and who will die—for love. And all the while, war rages with the Kingdom of Heaven, a brutal battle that—in its shocking outcome— will reveal the secret of Dust.

In The Amber Spyglass, Philip Pullman deftly weaves the cliffhangers and mysteries of The Golden Compass and The Subtle. Knife into an earth-shattering conclusion— and confirms his fantasy trilogy as an undoubted and enduring classic.

In a landmark epic of fantasy and storytelling, Philip Pullman invites readers into a world as convincing and thoroughly realized as Narnia, Earthsea, or Redwall. Here lives an orphaned ward named Lyra Belacqua, whose carefree life among the scholars at Oxford's Jordan College is shattered by the arrival of two powerful visitors. First, her fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, appears with evidence of mystery and danger in the far North, including photographs of a mysterious celestial phenomenon called Dust and the dim outline of a city suspended in the Aurora Borealis that he suspects is part of an alternate universe. He leaves Lyra in the care of Mrs. Coulter, an enigmatic scholar and explorer who offers to give Lyra the attention her uncle has long refused her. In this multilayered narrative, however, is as it seems. Lyra sets out for the top of the world in search of her kidnapped playmate, Roger, bearing a rare truth-telling instrument, the compass of the title. All around her children are disappearing—victims of so-called "Gobblers"—and being used as subjects in terrible experiments that separate humans from their daemons, creatures that reflect each person's inner being. And somehow, both Lord Asriel and Mrs. Coulter are involved.

The Golden Compass forms the first part of a story in three volumes. The first volume is set in a universe like ours, but different in many ways. The second volume is set partly in the universe we know. The third volume will move between the universes.

From the writer of The Golden Compass – controversial for its depiction of a patriarchal and inhumane Catholic-like institution – comes an articulation of his belief through the "myth" of the life of Jesus Christ.

Does for the Gospels what Wicked did for The Wizard of Oz. The book covers similar themes to Timothy Findley's Not Wanted on the Voyage and Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible.
