ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

His Dark Materials The Collectors by Philip Pullman presents a captivating tale centered around a painting of a young woman with an ambiguous expression and a repulsive bronze monkey sculpture. The story unfolds through a conversation between two men, Horley and Grinstead, as they discuss the peculiar pattern of these two disparate objects repeatedly ending up in the same collections. As the evening progresses, Grinstead reveals an extraordinary connection to the painting and hints at the existence of other worlds, leading to a night of unsettling revelations and tragic consequences. The narrative explores themes of mystery, obsession, and the boundary between the mundane and the uncanny.
