  • "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."

  • "Par un écrivain "biologiquement japonais mais absolument britannique" (N. Zand), la confession - très digne - d'un fidèle majordome de grande maison anglaise. Selon le critique de ##The Observer##, le sujet du roman est la disparition d'une certaine Angleterre (au milieu des années 1950). Et pour N. Zand, l'auteur est très doué mais il devrait quitter le sarcasme et cesser de se cacher derrière les stéréotypes. Quant à Salman Rushdie, il affirme que l'auteur pose de grandes questions: qu'est-ce que la britannité? la grandeur? la dignité? Booker Prize 1989."

  • "The novel's narrator, Stevens, is a perfect English butler who tries to give his narrow existence form and meaning through the self-effacing, almost mystical practice of his profession. In a career that spans the second World War, Stevens is oblivious of the real life that goes on around him -- oblivious, for instance, of the fact that his aristocrat employer is a Nazi sympathizer. Still, there are even larger matters at stake in this heartbreaking, pitch-perfect novel -- namely, Stevens' own ability to allow some bit of life-affirming love into his tightly repressed existence."

A haunting tale of lost causes and a lost love, this novel contains Ishiguro's now celebrated evocation of life between the wars in a Great English house - within those walls can be heard even more distinct echoes of the violent upheavals spreading across Europe."@en

  • "A rule bound head butler's world of manners and decorum in the household he maintains is tested by the arrival of a housekeeper who falls in love with him in post-WWI Britain. The possibility of romance and his master's cultivation of ties with the Nazi cause challenge his carefully maintained veneer of servitude.--Keith Loh."@en
  • "-- The Remains of the Day is a spellbinding portrayal of a vanished way of life and a haunting meditation on the high cost of duty. It is also one of the most subtle, sad and humorous love stories ever written. It is the summer of 1956, when Stevens, a man who has dedicated himself to his career as a perfect butler in the one-time great house of Darlington Hall, sets off on a holiday that will take him deep into the English countryside and, unexpectedly, into his own past, especially his friendship with the housekeeper, Miss Kenton. As memories surface of his lifetime "in service" to Lord Darlington, and of his life between the wars, when the fate of the continent seemed to lie in the hands of a few men, he finds himself confronting the dark undercurrent beneath the carefully run world of his employer."
