ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Amber Spyglass" by Philip Pullman follows the journey of Lyra and Will as they navigate multiple worlds to confront the forces that seek to control consciousness and free will. Lyra, a young girl with a connection to a truth-telling device, and Will, a boy with a knife that can cut through dimensions, are at the center of a conflict involving angels, humans, and powerful institutions. Their adventure takes them through different landscapes, including a land of the dead, where they encounter ghosts, and a world inhabited by the mulefa. The story explores themes of free will versus destiny, the power of storytelling, the nature of consciousness, and the struggle against oppression. It critiques established power structures and advocates for individual autonomy. The narrative shows how the choices of individuals can affect the destiny of all worlds.
