About This Item

3RD PRINTING SIGNED BY LOIS and dated 1994 (the year after publication). Also briefly inscribed as shown. An attractive copy in VG condition: Inside, the text looks and feels unread. Outside, the red cloth hardcover boards still have sharp (but soft) corners and minimal wear along the edges. There is a spot on the front cover and the book has a mild lean. Dust Jacket: no medal sticker present, but wear along edges and corners; looks quite appealing with a new mylar cover. Expedited shipping is welcome; signed by author.

Synopsis

Jonas, a young man governed by the control of tyrannical society is selected to be the next Receiver of Memory. In a world where everything is grayscale, he begins to receive memories of the past from the current Receiver. As Jonas begins to experience memories of love, pain, and color, he realizes that the society he lives in is far from perfect. With the help of the Giver, Jonas sets out to challenge the status quo and bring change to his community. The novel explores themes of individuality, freedom, and the importance of memories, emphasizing the dangers of a society that values conformity over individuality and the consequences of erasing the past.

This was a classic long before it became a movie about the hidden problems of creating a utopian society.
