The Giver is a 1993 American young-adult utopian/dystopian novel by Lois Lowry. It is set in a society which at first appears to be utopian but is revealed to be dystopian as the story progresses. The novel follows a 12-year-old boy named Jonas. The society has eliminated pain and strife by converting to "Sameness", a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives. Jonas is selected to inherit the position of Receiver of Memory, the person who stores all the past memories of the time before Sameness, as there may be times where one must draw upon the wisdom gained from history to aid the community's decision making. Jonas struggles with concepts of all the new emotions and things introduced to him: whether they are inherently good, evil, or in between, and whether it is even possible to have one without the other. The Community lacks any color, memory, climate, or terrain, all in an effort to preserve structure, order, and a true sense of equality beyond personal individuality.

Leitura fácil

Um livro que foi indicado para leitura do clube do livro da turma de inglês. Tem uma leitura fácil com o personagem principal bem construído e uma história que atrai a atenção a cada capítulo. Tem um final um tanto decepcionante, pois era esperado um desfecho melhor da história... Talvez tenha um outro livro que dê seguimento. Recomendo para quem quer treinar o inglês. Pois existem palavras de fácil compreensão e tem bastante " food for thoughts".
Enjoy it.
