Philip Pullman, CBE (lahir 19 Oktober 1946) ialah seorang penulis novel berkebangsaan Inggeris. Beliau ialah penulis laris untuk Bahan-Bahan Tersembunyinya (His Dark Materials), sebuah trilogi novel khayalan, serta sebilangan buku yang lain.


Biografi ringkas

Pullman dilahirkan di Norwich kepada Alfred Outram, juruterbang RAF, dan Audrey Evelyn Merrified. Keluarganya pindah-randah mengikut kerja ayahnya, termasuk ke Rhodesia Selatan (kini Zimbabwe), di mana beliau menghabiskan masanya di sekolah. Ayahnya terkorban dalam sebuah nahas kapal terbang pada tahun 1953 ketika Pullman berumur tujuh tahun. Ibunya berkahwin semula dan melalui perpindahan ke Australia datangnya penemuan Pullman terhadap buku-buku komik (termasuk Superman dan Batman), perantara yang didukungnya secara berterusan. Pada tahun 1957, beliau menyertai Sekolah Ysgol Ardudwy yang terletak di bandar Harlech, Gwynedd dan menghabiskan masanya di Norfolk bersama-sama datuknya, seorang paderi. Pada sekitar masa ini, Pullman menemukan Paradise Lost, sebuah novel oleh John Milton, yang kemudian menjadi pengaruh utama untuk triloginya, Bahan-bahan Tersembunyinya (His Dark Materials).

Pada tahun 1963, Pullman menyertai Kolej Exeter, Oxford dan menerima ijazah Sarjana Muda Sastera (BA) Kelas Ketiga pada tahun 1968. Dalam sebuah wawancara dengan majalah Pelajar Oxford, beliau mengatakan bahawa beliau "tidak gemar akan kursus bahasa Inggeris" dan menambah: "Saya berpendapat bahawa saya mencapai keputusan yang baik sehingga saya mendapat ijazah kelas ketiga dan kemudian menyedari bahawa prestasi saya tidak baik — tahun itu merupakan tahun yang kolej menghentikan pemberian ijazah kelas keempat, kalau tidak saya akan mendapatkannya juga". [1] Beliau menemukan ilustrasi-ilustrasi William Blake pada sekitar tahun 1970 yang kemduan juga amat mempengaruhinya.

Pullman berkahwin dengan Judith Speller pada tahun 1970 dan mula mengajar kanak-kanak dan menulis drama sekolah. Karya pertama yang diterbitkannya ialah Ribut Berhantu (The Haunted Storm) yang menjadi pemenang bersama "Anugerah Penulis Muda Perpustakaan Inggeris Baru" pada tahun 1972. Bagaimanapun, beliau enggan membincangkannya. Galatea, fiksyen khayalan dewasa, diterbitkan pada tahun 1978 tetapi drama-drama sekolah adalah yang mengilhami novel Count Karlstein, buku kanak-kanaknya yang pertama, yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1978. Pullman menghentikan kerja pengajarannya pada sekitar masa penerbitan Batu Delima di dalam Asap (The Ruby in the Smoke), buku kanak-kanaknya yang kedua yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1986. Latar buku ini yang berdasarkan Zaman Victoria membayangkan minat Pullman terhadap zaman itu.

Pullman menjadi pensyarah sambilan di Kolej Westminster, Oxford antara tahun-tahun 1988-1996, serta meneruskan penulisan cerita kanak-kanaknya. Beliau memulakan penulisan Bahan-bahan Tersembunyinya (His Dark Materials) pada sekitar tahun 1993. "Cahaya-cahaya Utara (diterbitkan sebagai Kompas Keemasan (The Golden Compass) di Amerika Syarikat) diterbitkan pada tahun 1996 dan memenanginya Pingat Carnegie, salah satu anugerah fiksyen kanak-kanak British yang paling berprestij, serta juga Anugerah Fiksyen Kanak-kanak Guardian.

Pullman menulis sepenuh masa sejak dari tahun 1996, tetapi masih meneruskan penyampaian syarahannya dan kekadang juga menulis untuk akhbar The Guardian. Beliau dianugerahkan Golongan Empayar British (CBE) dalam senarai Penerima Anugerah Tahun Baru pada tahun 2004. Pullman juga mula memberikan syarahan tentang bahasa Inggeris dalam sebuah seminar di alma maternya, Kolej Exeter, Oxford, pada tahun 2004. [2][3] Beliau kini mengerjakan Buku tentang Habuk (The Book of Dust), susulan kepada trilogi Bahan-bahan Tersembunyinya.

Sudut pandangan falsafah dan keagamaan

Pullman is a Distinguished Supporter of the British Humanist Association and an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society.

The His Dark Materials books have been at the heart of controversy, especially with certain Christian groups. Some, including Peter Hitchens, claim that he actively pursues an anti-Christian agenda.[4] Proponents of this view cite the critical articles he has written regarding C. S. Lewis' series The Chronicles of Narnia (which Pullman denounces as religious propaganda), and the usually negative portrayal of the "Church" in His Dark Materials.

The two series have some resemblance. Both feature children facing adult moral choices, talking animals, religious allegories, parallel worlds, and concern the ultimate fate of those worlds. The first published Narnia book, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, begins with a young girl hiding in a wardrobe, as does the first His Dark Materials book, Northern Lights (published as The Golden Compass in the US). Pullman's criticism of the Narnia books is shared by some liberal commentators such as Polly Toynbee.[5]

Some, including Hitchens again, have seen the His Dark Materials series as a direct rebuttal of C. S. Lewis's series.[6] Pullman has also criticised the way Lewis excludes the character Susan from the final 'heaven' scenes in The Last Battle, saying she is rejected for her growing worldliness.[7] Lewis devotees argue that Pullman has read too deeply into this; Lewis made no statement about Susan's ultimate destiny, and never excluded the possibility of her rejoining her friends in heaven later, as they are dead and she is still alive.

However, Pullman has found support from other Christians, most notably Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury. These groups and individuals point out that Pullman's attacks are focused on the constraints of dogmatism and the use of religion to oppress, not on Christianity itself. Dr. Williams has gone so far as to propose that His Dark Materials be taught as part of religious education in schools. Moreover, even authors of works dedicated to critical appraisals of religious themes in his writing have described Pullman as a friendly and generous debating partner[8].
