The Remains of the Day: Faber Modern Classics

The Remains of the Day won the 1989 Booker Prize and cemented Kazuo Ishiguro`s place as one of the world`s greatest writers. David Lodge, chairman of the judges in 1989, said, it`s “a cunningly structured and beautifully paced performance”. This is a haunting evocation of lost causes and lost love, and an elegy for England at a time of acute change. Ishiguro`s work has been translated into more than forty languages and has sold millions of copies worldwide. Stevens, the long-serving butler of Darlington Hall, embarks on a leisurely holiday that will take him deep into the countryside, but also into his own past. Reflecting on his years of service, he must re-examine his life in the face of changing Britain, and question whether his dignity and properness have come at a greater cost to himself.
