An elegant Everyman's Library hardcover edition of the universally acclaimed novel winner of the Booker Prize, a bestseller and a perpetually strong backlist title, and the basis for an award-winning film with full-cloth binding, a silk ribbon marker, a chronology, and a new introduction by Salman Rushdie. 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. '
