pas. La désobéissance et la révolte n’existent pas. L’harmonie règne dans les cellules familiales constituées avec soin par le comité des sages.

Dans la communauté, une seule personne détient véritablement le savoir: c’est le dépositaire de la mémoire. Lui seul sait comment était le monde, des générations plus tôt, quand il y avait des animaux, quand l’œil humain pouvait encore voir les couleurs, quand les gens tombaient amoureux. Dans quelques jours, Jonas aura 12 ans. Au cours d’une grande cérémonie, il se verra attribuer, comme tous les enfants de son âge, sa future fonction dans la communauté. Jonas ne sait pas encore qu’il est unique. Un destin extraordinaire l’attend. Un destin qui peut le détruire. " -- 4e de couv
