あらすじ・解説

December is the time of the annual Ceremony at which each twelve-year-old receives a life assignment determined by the Elders. Jonas watches his friend Fiona named Caretaker of the Old and his cheerful pal Asher labeled the Assistant Director of Recreation. But Jonas has been chosen for something special. When his selection leads him to an unnamed man, the man called only the Giver, he begins to sense the dark secrets that underlie the fragile perfection of his world.

Told with deceptive simplicity, this is the provocative story of a boy who experiences something incredible and undertakes something impossible. In the telling it questions every value we have taken for granted and reexamines our most deeply held beliefs.

批評家のレビュー

Newbery Medal Winner, 1994

"This is a compelling prospect for family listening. Initially Rifkin's voice seems too regional to portray the characters of this utopian/dystopian world, but he convincingly conveys the anticipation of the coming-of-age ceremony of Jonas and his friends. As the meaning of Jonas’ selection as “Receiver of Memory” unfolds, Rifkin’s characterizations become more powerful. Although the story drives the presentation, Rifkin’s juxtaposition of the young boy and the old Giver has tremendous effect. His voice for the Giver becomes increasingly weary and strained while Jonas' gains strength. Sharing this audiobook in a family or a classroom offers a valuable opportunity to respond to and discuss Lowry’s moving novel." (AudioFile magazine)

"A powerful and provocative novel." (The New York Times)
"Lowry is once again in top form...unwinding a tale fit for the most adventurous readers." (Publishers Weekly)
"The author makes real abstract concepts, such as the meaning of a life in which there are virtually no choices to be made and no experiences with deep feelings. This tightly plotted story and its believable characters will stay with readers for a long time." (School Library Journal)

Wisdom and happiness come from pain

Good narration, maybe better if you play it slower. Occasional piano melodies really suit each scene. It’s rare to have music during the book, but this one really has meanings to the music and you will see that towards the end.

The story starts with an unusual daily life of a “dystopia”, but the residents seem to be happily living their lives. As you read along, you see that they are not aware of what they are deprived of. For instance, color and feelings - especially love.

The people in the Community don’t need to feel any sadness or excruciating pain. The Receiver (and the Giver) are the only ones with access to such perspective, and hence they are honored for the wisdom that comes with them.

Really makes you realize that wisdom and true happiness cannot exist without pain.

The ending I hear has many debates to the interpretation. Well I think it’s a happy ending in a sense... I do would like to believe what comes after that leads to a happier life like what we have today....
