 | | New material is available in all three books: The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife feature black-and-white chapter-opening art by Philip Pullman himself; The Amber Spyglass features chapter-opening quotes from the likes of Milton, Donne, Blake, Byron and the Bible, which did not appear in hardcover. | | | Lewis' Narnia stories are allegories of good and evil, principles and the lack of them, the nature of man and the nature of God, love, forgiveness, sacrifice, pride and humility. | | | His Dark Materials is unabashed humanist propaganda written to delight a child's mind. |

| | His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman |
| | His Dark Materials was published as a trilogy, in three separate volumes, but it really is only a single (though many faceted) story. | | | His Dark Materials is a grand adventure-fantasy epic, with a theological-philosophical bent. | | | There are the daemons and many other creatures: Iorek Byrnison, the king of the bears, a number of witches, angels, and less familiar creatures, some with remarkable powers (some of which seem a tad too convenient, and not many of which are fully explored). |

| | Indeed, Pullman has taken the trilogy's overall title, His Dark Materials, from another account of the fall, Milton's Paradise Lost. | | | The above quotation alone — a broadside against the traditional Judeo-Christian vision of God ("the Authority") as good and the "rebel angels," or demons, as evil — is evidence that his trilogy, as the advertisement puts it, "is not your sword-and-sorcery escapism. | | | Of course, God, or the Authority, no longer runs the daily affairs of the kingdom in His Dark Materials. |

| | "The Amber Spyglass" is the final book in the most ambitious allegory being published today, Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy. | | | But while Pullman may have become caught up in adult theology -- and while he has won more grown-up readers with each "Dark Materials" book -- he keeps the swooping plots and passionate characters that make his earlier books so appealing to young readers. | | | Prose readers who hanker for the latest versions of the strange, symbolic dramas of Edmund Spenser or Revelations must seek them, for the most part, in genre ghettos: children's books, science fiction, horror or fantasy. |

| | Books in Review: The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass |
| | Pullman thinks Milton’s Paradise Lost is just such a mature fantasy, and His Dark Materials is supposed to be a modern retelling of the Garden of Eden story after a very Miltonian fashion. | | | Pullman conceived of the series after writing down its first words, “Lyra and her daemon.” The idea of daemons (pronounced “demons”) has ante cedents in the daimon or spirit that Socrates claimed as an aid in his judgment, and in the tradition of guar dian angels. | | | In the first two books of the trilogy, Pullman merely alluded to the larger account while telling an imaginative and exciting adventure, which promised to be one of the best ever. |

| | MonkeyFilter How it feels to see God killed |
| | The Archbishop of Canterbury (the Anglican Church& nearest equivalent to the Pope) reviews the stage adaptation of Philip Pullman& His Dark Materials trilogy. | | | Although I have not read His Dark Materials trilogy, I have wondered about the religious aspects ever since I read some venomous comments from Pullmen regarding the Narnia trilogy - another trilogy I have a great deal of respect for. | | | Turning inside out, His Dark Materials could be seen as an enormous logical contradiction, proving the hypotheses "does God exist" false for one case of its existence, and therefore, assuming an infinite God, proving the existence of God false everywhere. |
