Writer Lois Lowry’s futuristic novel “The Giver” provokes contemplation. The novel, which takes place in an apparently flawless but tightly regulated society, centres on a small child named Jonas who is selected to serve as the Receiver of Memory. In this capacity, he receives from an elderly man known as the Giver the recollections of the past, including both its pleasures and its tragedies. When Jonas learns the truth about the meticulously planned conformity and lack of individuality in his society, he is faced with a moral conundrum that calls into question the community’s basic tenets. “The Giver” delves deeply on the significance of human emotions, the nature of free choice, and the ramifications of living in a world devoid of suffering.
