The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro

The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER * From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, here is "an intricate and dazzling novel" (The New York Times) about the perfect butler and his fading, insular world in post-World War II England.
 
This is Kazuo Ishiguro's profoundly compelling portrait of a butler named Stevens. Stevens, at the end of three decades of service at Darlington Hall, spending a day on a country drive, embarks as well on a journey through the past in an effort to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving the "great gentleman," Lord Darlington. But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's "greatness," and much graver doubts about the nature of his own life.

The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Kazuo Ishiguro in 2017. More than 40 languages have been translated into his works. The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go have both sold over a million copies and have been made into critically acclaimed films. Nocturnes, A Pale View of the Hills, and An Artist of the Floating World are among Ishiguro's other works.
