Here is the highly anticipated second installment of Philip Pullman's epic fantasy trilogy, begun with the critically acclaimed The Golden Compass, Lyra and Will, her newfound friend, tumble separately into the strange tropical otherworld of Cittagazze, the city of magpies, where adults are curiously absent and children run wild. Here their lives become inextricably entwined when Lyra's alethiometer gives her a simple command: find Will's father. Their search is plagued with obstacles--some familiar and some horribly new and unfathomable--but it eventually brings them closer to Will's father and to the Subtle Knife, a deadly, magical, ancient tool that cuts windows between worlds. Through it all, Will and Lyra find themselves hurtling toward the center of a fierce battle against a force so awesome that leagues of mortals, witches, beasts, and spirits from every world are uniting in fear and anger against it. This breathtaking sequel will leave readers eager for the third and final volume of His Dark Materials, PhilipPullmanhaswonmanydistinguishedprizes,includingtheCarnegieMedalforTheGoldenCompass(andthereader-voted"CarnegieofCarnegies"forthebestchildren'sbookofthepastseventyyears);theWhitbread(nowCosta)BookoftheYearAwardforTheAmberSpyglass;aBookerPrizelong-listnomination(TheAmberSpyglass);Parents'ChoiceGoldAwards(TheSubtleKnifeandTheAmberSpyglass);andtheAstridLindgrenMemorialAward,inhonorofhisbodyofwork.In2004,hewasappointedaCommanderoftheOrderoftheBritishEmpire.

　　菲利普·普尔曼（PhilipPullman，1946－），20世纪以来最重要的英国童书作家之一。毕业于牛津大学，曾任西敏学院兼任讲师，教授维多利亚时期文学与民间故事，目前与家人住在英国，专事写作。除了青少年小说外，也撰写剧本与图画书。
　　他擅长采集童话、传说与类型故事元素，揉合当代议题与惊人的幽默感。以英国维多利亚时代为背景的「英伦悬疑四部曲」（《红宝石迷雾》、《北方之星》、《井底之虎》、《锡公主》），便编织了社会写实、惊悚冒险、超自然元素、蒸汽幻想等多元类型风格，人物性格鲜明，情节曲折紧凑，更跳脱成人与儿童的分界，广受好评，也奠定他在长篇小说写作上的地位。同时此套小说也成为之后国际级畅销经典「黑暗元素三部曲」的写作基调。他的珠玉小品故事，如《发条钟》、《我是老鼠！》与《卡斯坦伯爵》等，也精湛地发挥了揉合编织的功力，故事虽短，文本层次丰富而有余韵，是短篇故事的翘楚之作。
