"One of the best books of the year".-- The New York Times Book Review.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, here is the universally acclaimed novel--winner of the Booker Prize and the basis for an award-winning film. </b> <p/> This 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An intricate and dazzling novel." --<i>The New York Times</i><br> <i> </i><br> "Brilliant and quietly devastating." --<i>Newsweek </i><br> <i> </i><br> <i>"</i>A virtuoso performance ... put on with dazzling daring and aplomb." --<i>The New York Review of Books</i><br> <i> </i><br> "A perfect novel.
