Notă biografică

Lois Lowry wurde am 20. März 1937 unter dem Namen Lois Ann Hammersburg in Honolulu, Hawaii, geboren und ist eine US-amerikanische Autorin zahlreicher Kinder- und Jugendbücher.

Lowry war das zweite von drei Kindern eines amerikanischen Militärzahnarztes, weshalb die Familie oft umziehen musste. So besuchte sie Schulen in verschiedensten Städten der USA und auch in Tokio. Noch während ihres Studiums heiratete sie mit 19 Jahren den Offizier Donald Lowry, durch dessen Versetzungen sie ebenfalls oft den Wohnort wechseln mussten. Gemeinsam bekamen sie vier Kinder.

1972, als ihre Kinder schon etwas älter waren, schloss Lowry ihr Studium in englischer Literatur in Portland ab. Parallel machte sie sich einen Namen als Fotografin und konnte nun freiberuflich als Journalistin arbeiten. Ihr erster Roman "A Summer to Die" erschien 1977, in dem sie den Tod ihrer älteren Schwester mit nur 28 Jahren verarbeitete. Im selben Jahr ließ Lowry sich scheiden. Mit "The Giver" gelang ihr 1993 ein Bestseller, aus der eine ganze Reihe wurde. Auch ihre anderen Romane und Kinderbuchreihen wie zum Beispiel "Anastasia" wurden weltweite Erfolge und erhielten zahlreiche Preise.

1995 kam Lowrys Sohn in einem Kampfflugzeug ums Leben, worüber ihr das Schreiben hinweghalf. In den letzten Jahren veröffentlichte sie jedoch weniger, um sich mehr ihren vier Enkeln widmen zu können.

Lois Lowry lebt abwechselnd in Massachusetts und Maine.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

The fascinating third companion novel to THE GIVER which inspired the dystopian genre and is soon to be a major motion picture starring Jeff Bridges, Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift. In MESSENGER, Matty has lived in Village and flourished under the guidance of Seer, a blind man known for his special sight. His community once welcomed newcomers, but something sinister has seeped into Village and the people have voted to close its borders to outsiders.

Now Matty must risk everything to make one last journey through the treacherous forest...Award-winning author Lois Lowry challenges readers to imagine what our world could become, how people could evolve and what could be considered valuable in this fascinating follow-up to THE GIVER.


Recenzii

"Lowry masterfully presents another thought-provoking, haunting tale in this third novel, a companion to The Giver and Gathering Blue." Publishers Weekly, Starred

"Lowry moves far beyond message, writing with a beautiful simplicity rooted in political fable, in warm domestic detail, and in a wild natural world, just on the edge of realism." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review

"Told in simple, evocative prose, this companion to The Giver (1993) and Gathering Blue (2000) can stand on its own as a powerful tale of great beauty." Kirkus Reviews, Starred —
