From the Nobel Prize-winning author, here is an elegant Everyman's
Library hardcover edition of the universally acclaimed novel--winner of
the Booker Prize, a bestseller, and the basis for an award-winning
film--with full-cloth binding, a silk ribbon marker, a chronology, and
an introduction by Salman Rushdie.
Here is Kazuo Ishiguro's profoundly compelling portrait of Stevens, the
perfect butler, and of his fading, insular world in post-World War II
England. 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.
