Hardcover. Condition: Fine condition. Near Fine dust jacket. Later printing. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1993. INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR directly on the title page. Gold Newberry Medal seal on front panel of the jacket [1994 winner]. Fine condition in a handsome Near Fine dust jacket - just a tiny bit of very mild s…helwear. NO chips, tears, creases, or fading.

Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "Living in a 'perfect' world without social ills, a boy approaches the time when he will receive a life assignment from the Elders, but his selection leads him to a mysterious man who reveals the dark secrets behind the utopian facade." From GoodReads: "In a world with no poverty, no crime, no sickness and no unemployment, and where every family is happy, 12-year-old Jonas is chosen to be the community's Receiver of Memories. Under the tutelage of the Elders and an old man known as the Giver, he discovers the disturbing truth about his utopian world and struggles against the weight of its hypocrisy. With echoes of Brave New World, in this 1994 Newbery Medal winner, Lowry examines the idea that people might freely choose to give up their humanity in order to create a more stable society. Gradually Jonas learns just how costly this ordered and pain-free society can be, and boldly decides he cannot pay the price." GoodReads rating: 4.12 stars. From the author's website: "My books have varied in content and style. Yet it seems that all of them deal, essentially, with the same general theme: the importance of human connections. A Summer to Die, my first book, was a highly fictionalized retelling of the early death of my sister, and of the effect of such a loss on a family. Number the Stars, set in a different culture and era, tells the same story: that of the role that we humans play in the lives of our fellow beings. The Giver - and Gathering Blue, and the newest in the trilogy: Messenger - take place against the background of very different cultures and times. Though all three are broader in scope than my earlier books, they nonetheless speak to the same concern: the vital need of people to be aware of their interdependence, not only with each other, but with the world and its environment.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. Later printing. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. (x), 180pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. NOT a library discard (illustrator).
