¡Ahora disponible en español! Ganador de la Medalla Newbery y un New York Times bestseller, El dador. Lois Lowry's Newbery Medal-winning classic story of a young boy discovering the dark secrets behind his seemingly ideal world is now in Spanish. La comunidad donde vive Jonas es idílica. Es un mundo sin conflicto, sin desigualdad, sin desempleo, sin dolor... pero también sin elección. A los ciudadanos se les asigna una pareja y un trabajo. Nadie hace preguntas. Todo el mundo obedece. Excepto Jonas. Al cumplir doce años, es seleccionado para desempeñar un trabajo muy especial, y comienza a recibir lecciones de un misterioso anciano conocido como el Dador. Poco a poco, Jonas aprenderá que el verdadero poder reside en los sentimientos. Sin embargo, cuando debe salvar a alguien a quien ama, su propio poder es puesto a prueba. Ganador de la Medalla Newbery y un bestseller del New York Times, El dador es un clásico moderno que se ha traducido a más de cuarenta idiomas además de convertirse en largometraje.Review Quotes
"A powerful and provocative novel"--The New York Times "Wrought with admirable skill -- the emptiness and menace underlying this Utopia emerge step by inexorable step: a richly provocative novel."--Kirkus, starred review
"Lowry is once again in top form raising many questions while answering few, and unwinding a tale fit for the most adventurous readers."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "The simplicity and directness of Lowry's writing force readers to grapple with their own thoughts."-- Booklist, starred review "The theme of balancing the values of freedom and security is beautifully presented."-- The Horn Book Magazine, starred review
