The Giver is a dystopian novel for young adults written by Lois Lowry and published in 1993. The story takes place in a highly controlled society where there is no pain, war, or choice. Everything is organized to ensure safety and sameness. People do not experience real emotions or color, and their lives are assigned to them, including their families, jobs, and partners.
The main character, Jonas, is chosen to be the new Receiver of Memory, a person who holds all the past memories of the world before sameness. He begins training with the current Receiver, known as The Giver. Through this training, Jonas experiences love, joy, pain, and sorrow—feelings no one else in his community understands. As he learns the truth about his world, he starts to question everything he believed was right.
The novel explores important themes like individuality, freedom of choice, and the meaning of being human. It is the first book in a series that includes Gathering Blue, Messenger, and Son.
