The Giver

描述

在洛伊絲·勞瑞獲得紐伯瑞獎的經典作品中，12歲的喬納斯生活在一個看似理想的世界裏。直到他被賦予他作為接收者的生命任務，他才開始了解他脆弱社區背後的黑暗秘密。

In Lois Lowry’s Newbery Medal–winning classic, twelve-year-old Jonas lives in a seemingly ideal world. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver does he begin to understand the dark secrets behind his fragile community.

Life in the community where Jonas lives is idyllic. Designated birthmothers produce newchildren, who are assigned to appropriate family units. Citizens are assigned their partners and their jobs. No one thinks to ask questions. Everyone obeys. Everyone is the same. Except Jonas.
