The giver

The story centers on Jonas, young man who lives in a supposedly ideal world of conformity and contentment. Yet as he begins to spend time with the elder, who is the sole keeper of all the community's memories, Jonas quickly begins to discover the dark and deadly truths of his community's secret past. At extreme odds, Jonas knows that he must escape their world to protect them all; a challenge that no one has ever succeeded at before.

Jonas has just been chosen as the sole person to learn the truths of the 'real' world and is sent to train with the 'keeper of memories', The Giver. But knowledge is power ans as Jonas learns more about his fake world, he soon realises it is a matter of life and death that he escape. This will be his only chance to protect the people he loves."

As such he learns of misery and pain, but also of joy and love."@en
