The Golden Compass
Book • 1995
The Golden Compass, also known as Northern Lights in some regions, is the first book in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.
It follows Lyra Belacqua, a young girl living in an alternate universe where humans and talking animals coexist.
Lyra embarks on a journey to save her friend Roger from the Gobblers, a mysterious group abducting children.
Along the way, she discovers a world of complex moralities, where figures of authority are often deceptive and true help comes from unexpected sources.
The story involves Lyra's encounters with an alethiometer (a golden compass), her daemon Pantalaimon, and various characters including the enigmatic Mrs. Coulter and her uncle Lord Asriel.
