![]() ![]() I like Pullman's aim to make it clear that the physical and spiritual worlds are richer and more complex than any of us ever learned in school or church. I the like northern lights as the best and clearest instance of "dust," and the fact that a child with intuition is the best reader of the alethiometer, that truth telling magic machine. The first volume is my favorite as it has the best adventure line and Lyra is clearly featured. I say let a thousand versions bloom of a great story. I like this graphic novel adaptation, efficiently done and beautifully illustrated. I liked the movie with Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman. ![]() ![]() ![]() The original by Pullman is great, of course. It's great that there are so many terrific versions of this fantasy series. I had read the first volume of the graphic novel adaptation and liked it, so I finally took the time to read it all through. Here's some Finnish Northern Lights (you're welcome): We finished the first season of the BBC/HBO His Dark Materials series based on Phillip Pullman's trilogy, and I thought I would read the complete adaptation of the graphic novel focused on the first volume of Pullman's series, The Golden Compass (The Northern Lights was what Pullman wanted it to be called) by Stephane Melchior and illustrated by Clement Oubrerie. ![]()
