| Mark Walsh (Colin Farrell) is a photojournalist who has earned a reputation for working in some of the most unforgiving locations on Earth, so when his editor Amy (Juliet Stevenson) asks him to cover the fighting in Kurdistan, Mark takes the assignment and thinks little of it, though his wife Elena (Paz Vega) is considerably more concerned. Mark and his friend and fellow photographer David (Jamie Sives) head off to the war full of confidence, but when Mark comes home alone after being separated from David, he seems like a different person, gaunt and unable to relax. Elena can't get Mark to talk about what he saw that left him so traumatized, so she invites her father Joaquin (Christopher Lee), a veteran psychoanalyst with military experience, for a visit to see if he can help. But as Joaquin struggles to get Mark to open up, the father's presence ignites an old conflict between him and Elena; the doctor was a supporter of Franco during the Spanish Civil War and served under the dictator's regime, and Elena has never been able to forgive him for his actions against the Spanish loyalists.

| Lyra Belaqua, in university of Oxford of Jordan living, is not, but a young girl who lives among scholars. Their world can seem different by physical embodiment of souls which take the figure of an animal, but similarly with people around you to become friends and enemies. It is thrown in an extremely danderous adventure if it eavesdrops on a conversation of an unusual microscopic particle, dust. As one says, this particle combines different worlds, and is feared by many which they want to destroy for good. Because Lyra is flung in the middle of this awful fight, she meets astonishing beings largely as well as small, and rascals who are not what they seem. The turkeys who kidnap children will turn out in most unexpected places. And a magic compass of the gold which will answer every question if one get to know is enough to read it. The adventure of Lyra goes on everywhere in these three books, and the first one is to be told in the concept.
Lyra Belaqua, in Oxfords Universität von Jordan lebend, ist nicht, aber ein junges Mädchen, das unter Gelehrten lebt. Ihre Welt kann verschieden von physischen Verkörperungen von Seelen scheinen, die die Gestalt eines Tieres, aber ähnlich mit Leuten um Sie nehmen, um Freunde und Feinde zu werden. Sie wird in ein lebensgefährliches Abenteuer geworfen, wenn sie ein Gespräch einer außergewöhnlichen mikroskopischen Partikel, Staubs belauscht. Wie man sagt, vereinigt diese Partikel verschiedene Welten, und wird durch viele gefürchtet, die sie für immer zerstören wollen. Weil Lyra in die Mitte dieses schrecklichen Kampfs geschleudert wird, trifft sie erstaunliche Wesen sowohl groß als auch klein, und Bengel, die nicht sind, was sie scheinen. Truthähne, die Kinder kidnappen, werden sich in den meisten unerwarteten Plätzen herausstellen. Und ein magischer Kompass von Gold, das auf jede Frage antworten wird, wenn man erfahren genug ist, um es zu lesen. Das Abenteuer von Lyra geht überall in diesen drei Büchern weiter, und das erste ist im Begriff erzählt zu werden. Search keywords
