From Amazon.com

While Philip Pullman's greatest popularity is as a creator of novel-length magical realism for young adults, such as The Golden Compass, he continues to explore and stretch the limits of other children's and young adult genres. Clockwork is no exception. With its inspiration lying solidly in the German romantic tradition of E.T.A. Hoffmann and the Brothers Grimm, the story begins, as all good fairy tales do, with someone whose human weakness sets events inescapably in motion. As the townspeople of Glockenheim gather in the White Horse Tavern on the eve of the unveiling of a new figure for their great town clock, Karl, the clockmaker's apprentice, reveals to Fritz, a young storyteller, that he has not been able to construct the figure. A new clock figure is expected of all apprentices, and Karl is the first in hundreds of years to fail. Fritz, in his turn, has the beginnings of a new story to tell, and as it rolls off his tongue, its dark antagonist materializes and offers Karl his dearest wish. Not surprisingly, Karl's Faustian pact brings him destruction, but an innocent child is the deus ex machina that saves another child and the spirit of the town from seemingly ineluctable oblivion. With its eerie black-and-white illustrations by Leonid Gore and its happily-ever-after ending to some thrilling suspense, Clockwork is a fine fairy tale for younger children and a thought-provoking twist on the art of narrative for older ones. --Barrie Trinkle --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

From Publishers Weekly

"In this tightly wound tale, clockmaking and clockmakers serve as metaphors for fiction and its practitioners," said PW in a starred review. "A tale to return to time after time." Ages 8-12. (Oct.)

5.0étoiles sur 5 Enthralling!, Nov. 2 2006
Par Kyle Cardno "Twitch2021" (Abbotsford, B.C.) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Clockwork (Hardcover)
I first got this short novel at a Scholastic Book Fair when I was in elementary school. That copy of the book ended up getting lost or given away at some point in time but I found myself hunting around for another copy of it late in high school because of how wonderful a story it is. I, as another reviewer also wrote, would recommend this book to anyone who asked me for a recommendation on a good short story. The illustrations in the hardcover edition are beautiful, complimenting an already fantasitcal tale. A must read!

4.0étoiles sur 5 clockwork, Avril 4 2006
This review is from: Clockwork (Audio CD)
The book 'Clockwork' by Philip Pullman is a horror/historical fiction book. It's a bit horrific at parts, but I find it exciting. Once you start reading you can't put it down.
It takes place in Germany around 100 years ago time was kept by clockwork not digital technology. It starts out with a few different story lines, but in the end they all intertwine. The main story line is that the King returns from a hunting trip in the royal sledge stone dead! Even though his arm is still moving in a ticking motion whip in hand. The young prince is found unharmed in the back of the sledge. When the royal doctor examines the dead kings heart he finds it is made of...

5.0étoiles sur 5 This book rocks!, Avril 13 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Clockwork (Paperback)
This book ROCKS!!!!! It has adventure, mystery, and horror!! It may not be suitable for all ages (some "violent" events, and very descriptive scenes that aren't always "happy") and in my opinion, children nine years and older should read it because It is one good book!!! Here is a sample from the book that got me hooked.

"No! No! Stop-wait-the tune-let me whistle the tune-"
But his lips were too dry. Frantic, he licked them with a dry tongue. No use! He couldn't product a sound. Near and nearer the little knight came.....

Does the little knight use his sword to hurt the man, or does the man get away? Why does he need to whistle, and why does that seem to save his life.

You HAVE to read this book!!
