The Giver, a 1993 young adult dystopian novel by Lois Lowry, depicts a seemingly perfect future society where pain, war, and suffering are absent. However, this harmony comes at a cost: strict rules dictate life, emotions are suppressed, and people have no choice or individuality. The story follows Jonas, an 11-year-old boy who learns the truth about the world from an elderly man called the Giver.
