“The Giver, a powerful and provocative novel, is sure to keep older children reading and thinking.” —New York Times
“Lowry is once again in top form—raising many questions while answering few, and unwinding a tale fit for the most adventurous readers.” —Publishers Weekly

故事发生在一个乌托邦世界，在这里，人们一生所要做的事情早在一开始就被确定好了：孩子出生后会被送到指定的家庭，由指定的父母抚养长大；成年后，被指派从事特定的工作。这个世界看上去很完美，没有饥饿，没有离婚，没有失业，没有社会不公，没有战争，甚至没有痛苦的感觉，但也没有选择。所有人都在统一的模式里生活，除了乔纳思。
在晋升十二岁的典礼上，乔纳思被选定承担一项对社区意义重大的工作。他需要跟随神秘的、自称“记忆传授人”的老人接受训练。在受训过程中，乔纳思逐渐发现，支撑这个完美社会的不过是谎言，甚至危及到了他所爱之人的生命，于是他决定要改变一切。等待在乔纳思前方的究竟会是什么？乔纳思会走向何方？
It is the future. There is no war, no hunger, no pain. No one in the community wants for anything. Everything needed is provided. And at twelve years old, each member of the community has their profession carefully chosen for them by the Committee of Elders.
Twelve-year old Jonas has never thought there was anything wrong with his world. But from the moment he is selected as the Receiver of Memory, Jonas discovers that their community is not as perfect as it seems.
It is only with the help of the Giver, that Jonas can find what has been lost. And it is only through his personal courage that Jonas finds the strength to do what is right…

洛伊丝·劳里，1937年出生于美国夏威夷，童年及青少年时期随担任军医的父亲在世界各地迁移。她写作生涯起步较晚，但很快就成为了世界知名的作家，先后创作了四十多部文学作品和一本自传，并以《数星星》（1990年）和《记忆传授人》（1994年）两度获得美国纽伯瑞儿童文学金奖。劳里堪称一位多才、多变的作家，她的写作风格多样、题材广泛，既有轻松幽默的少年生活类小说“阿纳斯塔西亚”系列，也有反思乌托邦的“记忆传授人”四部曲；此外还在作品中探讨过种族主义、大屠杀、收养等复杂议题，屡屡引发美国教育界和文学评论界的热议和盛赞。
Lois Lowry, author of over twenty novels and twice winner of the Newbery Medal (forThe Giver andNumber the Stars), was born on 20 March 1937 in Hawaii. Her father was an Army dentist and the family lived all over the world. Now divorced, she lives in West Cambridge with her dog, Bandit, and spends weekends in her nineteenth-century farmhouse in New Hampshire.

It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened. No. Wrong word, Jonas thought. Frightened meant that deep, sickening feeling of something terrible about to happen. Frightened was the way he had felt a year ago when an unidentified aircraft had overflown the community twice. He had seen it both times. Squinting toward the sky, he had seen the sleek jet, almost a blur at its high speed, go past, and a second later heard the blast of sound that followed. Then one more time, a moment later, from the opposite direction, the same plane.
At first, he had been only fascinated. He had never seen aircraft so close, for it was against the rules for Pilots to fly over the community. Occasionally, when supplies were delivered by cargo planes to the landing field across the river, the children rode their bicycles to the river bank and watched, intrigued, the unloading and then the takeoff directed to the west, always away from the community.
But the aircraft a year ago had been different. It was not a squat, fat-bellied cargo plane but a needle-nosed single-pilot jet. Jonas, looking around anxiously, had seen others — adults as well as children — stop what they were doing and wait, confused, for an explanation of the frightening event.
Then all of the citizens had been ordered to go into the nearest building and stay there. IMMEDIATELY, the rasping voice through the speakers had said. LEAVE YOUR BICYCLES WHERE THEY ARE.
Instantly, obediently, Jonas had dropped his bike on its side on the path behind his family's dwelling. He had run indoors and stayed there, alone. His parents were both at work, and his little sister, Lily, was at the Childcare Center where she spent her after-school hours.
Looking through the front window, he had seen no people: none of the busy afternoon crew of Street Cleaners, Landscape Workers, and Food Delivery people who usually populate the community at that time of day. He saw only the abandoned bikes here and there on their sides; an upturned wheel on one was still revolving slowly.
