To say much more would be to mar the surprises of a brief tale. It introduces two new characters who clearly have legs for future adventures: the shrewd, friendly young scholar Dr Polstead, and the reputedly mad alchemist Sebastian Makepeace. There is a wound from the past: "Since she and Will had parted... the slightest thing had the power to move her to pity and distress; it felt as if her heart was bruised for ever".

This book contains a story and several other things. The other things might be connected with the story, or they might not; they might be connected to stories that haven’t appeared yet . . . Sin embargo, lo que sí quiero destacar son las ilustraciones que se incluyen en este texto. Puede que no tengan un aspecto muy especial, pero ver este tipo de documentos en un mundo de fantasía nos hace entender lo inmerso que está el autor con su propia historia, así como su intento para que el lector se sienta igual que él. Asimismo, la narración es muy destacable y a pesar de que el 70% de la historia está dedicado a las conversaciones entre Lyra y su daimonion, esto nunca se convierte en un problema por la genialidad de ambos personajes.

Success!

The National Theatre in London staged a two-part, six-hour-long adaptation of the novels. The production ran in 2003 and 2004; Lyra was played by Anna Maxwell Martin in the first run and by Elaine Symons in the second. This was way too short! I wanted it to be much longer than it was. We get to catch up with Lyra who is now at Oxford studying. She and Pan (remember Pan?) get caught up in a plot that ends with them winning the day. This tour will show you from the outside many of the key locations from Lyra’s Oxford and La Belle Sauvage, including the Bodley’s Library, The Covered Market, Jordan College and the Pitt Rivers Museum. It will provide a fascinating insight into the stories and places that inspired the world-renowned books. A pesar de que El Oxford de Lyra es un relato corto de 61 páginas, creí que la historia sería un poco más extensa. Lo sé, suena extraño pero esa es la realidad. Recuerdo que cuando leí la trilogía de La materia oscura en 2019, sentí que leía muchos sucesos en pocas páginas por lo que esperaba algo parecido en este pequeño relato, pero eso no ocurrió. Sí, es una lectura agradable y acompañar a Lyra y a Pantalaimon en sus andanzas siempre será un placer; el problema es que cuando tomamos un libro ansiamos vivir una aventura completa, pero aquí eso no sucede porque esta historia es inconclusa, no tiene un argumento de mucha calidad y podría ser catalogada simplemente como un capítulo de un libro que nunca existió, y nada más que eso. La idea pudo desarrollarse mejor, ser más extensa e incluso convertirse en el cuarto libro de la saga, pero la realidad es otra desafortunadamente. Fue un texto que no logró resolver las incógnitas que se desarrollaron, que no es imprescindible leerlo y que finalizó tan precipitadamente que su lectura se asemeja a acercarnos a un precipicio sin enterarnos, y caer al abismo en el momento menos esperado. Esa particularidad me deja un poco confundido porque no sé si lo que acabo de leer me ha gustado o no. Tours go ahead whatever the weather, however, we do advise you to come prepared and warmly dressed for winter, prepared for rain whatever the season with comfortable footwear.

In the most recent edition of The Amber Spyglass released in the UK, the post-script "Lantern Slides" section shows Lyra studying the alethiometer (a rare truth-telling device) with Pantalaimon at age18. She is excited to start recognising a pattern in the readings, and Pullman tells us that this discovery of a pattern is the "second thing she said to Will next day in the Botanic Garden", implying that the next day was Midsummer's Day, when she and Will would be sitting on the same bench in their separate worlds. [5] There is quite a bit of a treasure hunt and even a fight, followed by a relevation. Because everything has meaning according to Lyra. This 2-hour tour (on alternate Saturdays at 2pm), endorsed by the author himself, provides a fascinating insight into the stories and places that inspired his world-renowned books. Su ritmo es lento como si fuera el principio de una novela, aunque las cosas aquí también suceden rápidamente, finalmente, y de manera un tanto satisfactoria, lo que significa que la escritura es maravillosa, pero en realidad no sucede mucho.The Trout Inn, Wolvercote: this real pub is where Malcolm lives with his parents, the landlords, in La Belle Sauvage. Jericho: Where Gyptians board boats in Northern Lights. It is also where the main character lives in La Belle Sauvage and where some of the action takes place.

[9] Lyra's Oxford is a small publication, a short story essentially, which can be easily read in one sitting. It is after the events of His Dark Materials trilogy and features the familiar duo of Lyra Silvertongue and her daemon, Pantalaimon. Both are stationed at Oxford, when a witch's daemon arrives, begging Lyra to help him find a person who's unknown to her... Another lavishly beautiful book by Philip Pullman.
