The Remains of the Day is a 1989 novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. It tells the story of Stevens, a butler who has dedicated his life to the service of Lord Darlington, a wealthy English aristocrat. The novel is set in the years leading up to World War II, and it explores the themes of duty, loyalty, and the cost of personal ambition.
The novel is narrated by Stevens, who is looking back on his time at Darlington Hall. He is a man of great pride and discipline, and he believes that his life has been well-lived. However, as he recounts his memories, he begins to question his own beliefs and choices. He realizes that he may have been too loyal to Lord Darlington, even when he knew that his master was making mistakes. He also realizes that he may have missed out on opportunities for love and happiness.
The Remains of the Day is a complex and moving novel that explores the human cost of social conventions. It is a story about the importance of self-awareness and the power of regret. The novel won the Booker Prize in 1989, and it has been adapted into a film and a television miniseries.
Here are some of the main themes of the novel:
The importance of duty and loyalty
The cost of personal ambition
The nature of memory and regret
The relationship between class and social conventions
The decline of the British aristocracy
The rise of fascism in Europe
The Remains of the Day is a beautifully written novel that is both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. It is a classic of modern literature that continues to be read and enjoyed by readers around the world.
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.
KAZUO ISHIGURO was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain at the age of five. His eight previous works of fiction have earned him many honors around the world, including the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Booker Prize. His work has been translated into over fifty languages, and The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go, both made into acclaimed films, have each sold more than 2 million copies. He was given a knighthood in 2018 for Services to Literature. He also holds the decorations of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres from France and the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star from Japan.
