ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman is a mysterious and thought-provoking tale that revolves around two unusual art pieces: a haunting painting and a disturbing bronze monkey. The story follows the lives of Horley and Grinstead, who become intrigued by the strange connection between these objects. As they uncover the pieces' twisted histories, the novel explores themes of obsession, fate, and the intersection of reality with otherworldly realms. Through speculative fiction, Pullman delves into the emotional turmoil and philosophical questions surrounding human curiosity, the consequences of unchecked desire, and the mysteries of existence.
