作者简介

Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain in 1960. He attended the University of Kent at Canterbury and the University of East Anglia. He now lives in London.

内容简介

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.

    难以置信这是个日本人写的,节奏很慢需要长途飞行里的耐心。英文版好于翻译版。那时只有感慨以及不理解衰老和日薄西山的意味。再读就有共鸣。05-21

    看完。还是叹息不能止。终生的事业和价值观并非虚伪,而是深厚的传统乃至信仰。若把这个级别的管家与另一种职业,剑客,相比,那就是到了人剑合一的境界了。那一点悸动是点睛之笔。(不得不再叹,电影拍得太好了,神之还原,神之卡司)语言很好,精巧、工整。结构是能工巧匠的手笔。11-09

    First encounter with Ishiguro. Really amazing. A mini history of Europe in the 1930s through the point of view of a seasoned butler of Darlington Hall, an old house which, in his eyes, was one of the hubs of global events. 06-08

    很明显,老Stevens爱的是Lord Darlington,眼前浮现Dirk Bogarde,电影版可以找Jeremy Irons嘛,虽然霍普金斯非常到位。06-11
