The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro (Book Analysis) : Detailed Summary, Analysis and Reading Guide

Unlock the more straightforward side of The Remains of the Day with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, which follows Stevens, the butler of Darlington Hall, as he reflects on his situation and career. Stevens takes great pride in his professionalism and service to the owner of the Hall, and constantly puts his sense of duty above his own needs and feelings. However, the world he lives in is changing rapidly, and in the course of the novel he reflects on his past and on what he sees as a vanishing age of honour. The Remains of the Day is Kazuo Ishiguro’s third novel and is among his most acclaimed works, winning the Man Booker Prize in 1989. Ishiguro is also known for his novels Never Let Me Go and The Buried Giant, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2017.
