The Giver译为“赐予者”或“授者”，是洛伊丝·洛利最著名的也是最受争议的作品。在The Giver里，作者描绘了一个想像出来的乌托邦世界。在这个社会里，人们的生活都被安排得好好的，人们不用决定工作，不用决定配偶，这些问题，社会都帮个人做好了决定。而这个世界也没有记忆、感情、颜色及音乐，人们只有最基本的生活需求。但有一个人例外，他一个人承担了整个世界该有的记忆，他必须独自承受痛苦、恐惧、和孤单，而他也同时知道什麼是温暖、幸福和爱。这个人被称为the receiver of memory，也就是the Giver。当12岁的男主角Jonas成为这个the receiver of memory的接班人后，他得到了他以前所不曾有过的经验，而当他知道愈多时，他愈发现这个世界的不合理，最后他选择了逃离……
