The Giver is a 1993 American young adult dystopian novel by Lois Lowry. Set in a society that initially appears utopian but reveals dystopian elements as the story unfolds, the narrative follows 12-year-old Jonas, who is selected to inherit the position of Receiver of Memory. In this role, Jonas uncovers the complexities of emotions and experiences absent in his community, leading him to question the constructs of his seemingly perfect world. The novel delves into themes of memory, individuality, and the essence of humanity. The Giver received the 1994 Newbery Medal and has sold over 12 million copies worldwide. It is the first installment in The Giver Quartet, followed by Gathering Blue (2000), Messenger(2004), and Son (2012). The book has been adapted into various formats, including a 2014 film starring Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep.
