内容简介
The Remains of the Day is a profoundly compelling portrait of the perfect English butler and of his fading, insular world postwar England. At the end of his three decades of service at Darlington Hall, Stevens embarks on a country drive, during which he looks back over his career to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving "a great gentleman." But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's "greatness" and graver doubts about his own faith in the man he served.
A tragic, spiritual portrait of a perfect English butler and his reaction to his fading insular world in post-war England. A wonderful, wonderful book.

石黑一雄,著名日裔英国小说家。曾获得了在英语文学里享有盛誉的“布克奖”。他的文体以细腻优美著称,几乎每部小说都被提名或得奖,其作品已被翻译成二十八种语言。
所获奖项: 1989年,石黑一雄获得了在英语文学里享有盛誉的“布克奖”。石黑一雄的文体以细腻优美著称,几乎每部小说都被提名或得奖,其作品已被翻译成二十八种语言。
石黑一雄年轻时即享誉世界文坛,与鲁西迪、奈波尔被称为“英国文坛移民三雄”,以“国际主义作家”自称。曾被英国皇室授勋为文学骑士,并获授法国艺术文学骑士勋章。
虽然拥有日本和英国双重的文化背景,但石黑一雄却是极为少数的、不专以移民或是国族认同作为小说题材的亚裔作家之一。即使评论家们总是想方设法,试图从他的小说中找寻出日本文化的神髓,或是耙梳出后殖民理论的蛛丝马迹,但事实上,石黑一雄本人从来不刻意去操作亚裔的族群认同,而更以身为一个国际主义的作家来自诩。
对石黑一雄而言,小说乃是一个国际化的文学载体,而在一个日益全球化的现代世界中,要如何才能突破地域的疆界,写出一本对于生活在任何一个文化背景之下的人们,都能够产生意义的小说,才是他一向努力的目标。因此,石黑一雄与并称为“英国文坛移民三雄”的鲁西迪、奈波尔相比,便显得大不相同了。
