His Dark Materials

[storm]

At the risk of revealing myself as a fool .... I've read HDM
series. All of them. I liked them, Pulman's writing, his
describtive abilities and protagonists but did not understand
what was going on most of the time. I could understand that it
was terribly supposed to be important but exsactly why eluded me.
I lack any knowledge of theology which probably doesn't help.

so, Mr Goat and others  ... what is the dust supposed to
represent? In lanugage a simple child could understand please
<g>. Also what are the deamons? I get the three parts of ppl bit
(nicely spelt out as it is) but which bit do the deamons
represent? Something one can be seperated from at great cost. And
Pullman doesn't appear to like dogs does he?

Of course I want one.  A deamon I mean, I understand that Pullman
thinks I am likely to have one of what ever it is they represent,
even though I like dogs and am not service minded.
