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

A tragic, spiritual portrait of a perfect English butler and ì his reaction to his fading insular world in post-war England. A ì wonderful, wonderful book.
