The Golden Compass - Busola de aur


It was no ordinary life for a young girl: living among scholars in the hallowed halls of Jordan College and tearing unsupervised through Oxford's motley streets on mad quests for adventure. But Lyra's greatest adventure would begin closer to home, the day she heard hushed talk of an extraordinary particle. Microscopic in size, the magical dust- found only in the vast Artic expanse of the North -was rumored to possess profound properties that could unite whole universes. But there were those who feared the particle and would stop at nothing to destroy it. Catapulted into the heart of a terrible struggle, Lyra was forced to seek aid from clans, gyptians, and formidable armored bears. And as she journeyed into unbelievable danger, she had not the faintest clue that she alone was destined to win, or to lose, this more-than-mortal battle.

Nu era o viata obisnuita pentru o fetita: sa traiasca printre oamenii de stiinta din holurile intunecate de la Colegiul Jordan si umbland nesupravecheata pe strazile din Oxford in cautarea aventurilor. Dar cea mai mare aventura a Lyrei va incepe abia acum, aproape de casa, in ziua in care ea a auzit vorbindu-se despre o particula de praf extraordinara. De marime microscopica, praful magic - gasindu-se doar in partea arctica a Nordului- se zvoneste ca poseda proprietati profunde care pot uni intregul Univers. In aceleasi timpuri existau si cei care se temeau de praaful magic si faceau orice pentru a-l putea distruge. Catapultata in inima luptelor, Lyra a fost fortata sa gaseasca un remediu pentru diferitele clanuri: tiganii sau formidabilii ursi in armura. Si in timpul in care se afla intr-un pericol imens ea nu nu stia daca ii fusese destinat sa castige sau sa piarda aceste lupte.
