By using the genre, whether it is westerns sci-fi or historic peace, the author envelops the concept in a palatable story. Sometimes the envelope completely masks the purpose of the story; at other times the purpose is so blatant that one doesn't even know why anything was being enveloped. This is one of those rare stories that polarize readers from one extreme to the other.We recognize and other phenomena about this story. In many stories, the reader's rule look at the antagonists are the protagonist and once in a while can sympathize but never recognizes themselves as the protagonist. In Philip Pullman's “Dark Materials” it seems that everybody recognizes themselves with an “if the shoe fits attitude” whether it is them or not.Now dark materials, book one “The Golden Compass.” Lyra who ran wild around Jordan Collage at Oxford is now hiding in a closet in the Retiring Room. There she sees that the Master is about to poison her uncle Lord Asriel. Now Lyra must figure out who are the good guys from the bad if there are good and bad guys. In the process, she finds and fulfills her destiny without fully realizing what that destiny is. The people and creatures around her know more of her destiny than she does. Soon she must leave Jordon College and is given a beautiful golden instrument with pictures and arms that resemble a compass. What she is supposed to do with it is not clear at first. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/113809526-the-golden-compass-his-dark-materials-book-1-publisher-laurel](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/113809526-the-golden-compass-his-dark-materials-book-1-publisher-laurel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
