From the author of the phenomenal His Dark Materials comes the next chapter in the story of Lyra Silvertongue . . .

Lyra is now studying at St Sophia''s College, Oxford, with her daemon Pantalaimon.

But, for the first time there are serious divisions between the two.
Lyra is questioning everything she once held dear. Pan misses the impulsiveness of their youth.

When an act of terrible violence breaks the peace of the Oxford night, Lyra and Pan''s relationship reaches a crisis and they are drawn, far from home, into the dangerous factions of a world they had no idea existed.

The Secret Commonwealth is truly a book for our times; a powerful adventure and a thought-provoking look at what it is to understand yourself and to grow up and make sense of the world around you.

This is storytelling at its very best from one of our greatest writers.

*Exclusive to the paperback edition, Chris Wormell''s new original illustrations bring Lyra''s world vividly to life.*

Reviews for The Secret Commonwealth: The Book of Dust Volume Two:

"[Pullman] has created a fantasy world, made yet more satisfying in rigour and stylistic elegance. This is a book for getting older with" Guardian, Book of the Week

"The Secret Commonwealth is ablaze with light and life. The writing is exquisite; every sentence sings ... To read Pullman is to experience the world refreshed, aglow, in Technicolour" i

"Pullman''s story is still thought-provoking ... This book elegantly weaves in live issues, from Europe''s refugee crisis to facts in the post-truth era. And Pullman''s prose is rewarding as ever" The Times

"A long, taxing, complex journey, laced with beauty, terror and philosophy" Metro

"As ever, Pullman''s story is complex and vast but home to some of the finest storytelling in the 21st century. Revel in whole new worlds and enjoy one of literature''s most wonderful heroines before she comes to HBO and the BBC" Stylist

"Pullman is confronting readers with the horrors of our own world reflected back at us. In The Secret Commonwealthhe creates a fearful symmetry" The Herald

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Philip Pullman

Philip Pullman nasceu em Norwich, Inglaterra, em 1946. Ainda criança, viveu no seu país, no Zimbabué e na Austrália. Quando tinha onze anos, a família regressou definitivamente a Inglaterra. Frequentou a Faculdade de Exeter, onde descobriu o seu interesse pela literatura do género fantástico. Teve diversas profissões antes de se tornar professor em Oxford. Dedicou-se então à criação literária, começando por escrever textos de teatro e contos. A partir de 1985 passou a produzir romances, mas foi em 1995 que alcançou o sucesso à escala internacional com a trilogia MUNDOS PARALELOS, constituída pelos volumes Os Reinos do Norte, A Torre dos Anjos e O Telescópio de Âmbar, todos publicados pela Editorial Presença. Esta trilogia, traduzida em mais de 40 línguas e com vendas superiores a 18 milhões de exemplares, foi selecionada como uma das 100 melhores obras de todos os tempos pela revista Newsweek, tendo uma adaptação cinematográfica de êxito mundial com o título A Bússola Dourada. Philip Pullman, um dos escritores mais aclamados da atualidade, foi distinguido com vários prémios literários de grande prestígio, incluindo o Carnegie Medal; o Guardian Children’s Book Award; o Whitbread Prize, concedido pela primeira vez a um autor de obras infantojuvenis, e o Memorial Astrid Lindgren Prize, pelo conjunto da sua obra.
