SYNOPSIS
Jonathan Stroud has established himself as a reference in fantastic literature after the publication of the first volume of the "Bartimaeus Trilogy", "The Amulet of Samarkand", which, in addition to becoming a bestseller , also received an honorable mention at the 2004 Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards for Excellence in Children's Literature and awaits the release of a film version. With this second volume, "The Golem Eye", expectations are confirmed. Two years have passed since the last events. Nathaniel is now fourteen and an assistant to the Minister of Internal Affairs. Its duty is to dismantle the Resistance, an organization of commons that wants to overthrow the power of the magicians. But when a surprise attack by a golem is wrongly attributed to this group, Nathaniel is forced to ask Bartimaeus for help, albeit reluctantly. Meanwhile, a young member of the Resistance, Kitty Jones, plans to steal the holy tomb of the great wizard Gladstone. It is then that, one night, the fates of Nathaniel, Bartimaeus and Kitty are under the design of something much more powerful ... Alternating the focus of the action between Nathaniel and Kitty and with some chapters told in the first person by Bartimaeus - who gives his a note of sarcasm and irreverent humor to the ever increasing tension - this new volume guides us to Prague, makes us chase a skeleton through the streets of London, witness bold acts and penetrate the sordid world of the government of the magicians. "The Bartimaeus Trilogy" continues to delight with its blend of fantasy, mythology and history, while Stroud defies conventional definitions of good and evil with its gallery of intriguing characters.
