Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain at the age of five. He is the author of five novels, including The Remains of the Day, an international bestseller that won the Booker Prize and was adapted into an award-winning film. Ishiguro's work has been translated into twenty-eight languages. In 1995, he received an Order of the British Empire for service to literature, and in 1998 was named a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government. He lives in London with his wife and daughter.
The Remains of the Day is a profoundly compelling portrait of the perfect English butler and of his fading, insular world postwar England. At the end of his three decades of service at Darlington Hall, Stevens embarks on a country drive, during which he looks back over his career to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving ;a great gentleman. ; But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's ;greatness ; and graver doubts about his own faith in the man he served. A tragic, spiritual portrait of a perfect English butler and his reaction to his fading insular world in post-war England. A wonderful, wonderful book.
Those who know me know that I am mentally disturbed, truly. Of course, I always blame the society and a unhappy childhood. Sometimes I wonder if it also has got something to do with my early-formed habbit of reading. As a child, I read many books, and ser...
评分石黑一雄一直是我非常喜欢的作家,他的文字总是充满了那种英国式的克制与谨慎,而又不失像英国古典作家的那种优雅文风。除此之外,他还是一个讲故事的高手,他能够让一个故事慢慢地从指尖流出,呈现给你的只是涓涓溪流,然而,当你听到故事的结尾的时候,却发现,原来那只能让...
评分《长日将尽》是诺贝尔文学奖得主石黑一雄的第三部长篇小说,荣获1989年度布克奖,由此真正奠定了他作为世界一流作家的地位。这部小说内涵之丰富、文笔之凝练,也当之无愧地成了石黑一雄最重要的代表作。 小说以管家史蒂文斯在新东家法拉戴的资助下,驾车游历英格兰六日为线索,...
评分虽然早有听说石黑一雄,但身边朋友对他的评价都一般,今年诺奖之后我才开始读,看了《小夜曲》、《远山淡影》、《长日留痕》、《浮世画家》。没有太细看,有些是听完的,对这几本做一个大致的印象总结。 1 《长日留痕》获1989年布克奖,是比较没有争议的一部好小说。东方人总试...
这个文字功力可太带劲儿了。
评分文字如行云流水般流畅典雅,很平静但又十足动人的阅读体验。人生的选择在细小的日子里堆叠,直到多年后回首才发现路途已远,莫可奈何。全文都很老式英国,但结尾一场告别的戏却又传达出东方的意蕴,异曲同工的含蓄和内敛,含着深沉的情感与怅惘。“明日隔山岳,世事两茫茫。”
评分Not a love story at all.Instead, a vivd description of a sad imprisonment of a soul, an in-depth study of class and culture and a record of the postwar England from a fresh angle.
评分"Whenever I thought of leaving, I just saw myself going out there and finding nobody who knew or cared about me. There, that's all my high principles amount to. I feel so ashamed of myself. But I just couldn't leave, Mr. Stevens. I just couldn't bring myself to leave."
评分内敛微妙又纠结的感情,特别典型的英国小说,我自己先入为主了认为石黑一雄这样的移民作家应该多少还是带一点东方的影子,于是就被这小说打脸了。btw个人觉得框架有点像贾木许的电影<破碎之花>,老年人自驾游一边走一边回顾人生,但是内里却是完全不同的两种文化特征。
