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.

家仆阶层,我是很隔膜的。有印象源自戴妃的前管家,此人利用主人的过世发了一笔财,虽然也情有可原(可理解的利益驱动),终究感觉不好。石黑一雄书中的达林顿大宅的男管家,频频提及“尊严”,dignity, 其一生作为,致力于令家仆阶层的尊严得到可敬的展示。而他以牺牲个人意志...
评分1,要注意衣服的问题。根据自己的地位选择合适的衣服。 2,为自己选择一个有尊严的生活。至于什么是尊严,每个人都有不同的看法。 3,要懂得控制情绪,不要像傻逼一样生气就把衣服撕裂又哭又喊又疯又暴躁。 4,管好自己的嘴巴。别嘴欠。不要什么事情都想知道,不是什么事情...
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,...
评分石黑一雄是一个纯正的“讲故事的人”。不知是不是由于翻译者的关系,或者受到家庭的影响,虽然从小移居英国,但其作品里还是能够嗅得出很明显的“和风气味”。起初我说不出来那是什么,在多读几本之后发现是一种温暖底色,作为人物性情和故事背景的涂层,有节制,极坚韧。 《...
评分《长日将尽》是诺贝尔文学奖获得者石黑一雄的一部代表作,曾在1989年获得布克奖。故事从管家史蒂文斯的视角展开。在难得的一次短短几日的旅途中,史蒂文斯仔细回顾了自己服务达林顿勋爵三十多年的职业生涯。他一生追求卓越,处处以“伟大”管家的标准衡量自己,享受着攀上职业...
"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."
评分累贅的語言婉轉透視出敘事者疲乏的、被動的存在,不直接道出所有意味著真相的殘酷,人性以憂鬱的姿態成為被侵蝕成之物。一個徹頭徹尾的僕人,餘生注定是永遠永遠的,哀美的,黃昏。
评分英国的管家一板一眼, 努力了一辈子为的就是我们看来鸡毛蒜皮的事 - 闪亮的刀叉, 透明的玻璃杯。 到了晚年, 发现remains of the day时间不多了, 怎能不感慨。
评分这部是石黑一雄最出名的作品,却意外的比他前两部小说平淡。结构比前两部小说紧密,可能是它的优点。放弃了移民视角和主题,小说的关注点变得简洁,没有了远山淡影的局促;但我还是怀疑它并不高于后者,得奖的原因或许是它更加英国吧。
评分怎一个愁字了得。一个管家把自己的一生奉献给一个贵族,却被历史证明贵族的选择是错误的。没落的贵族背后是两次世界大战中没落的大英帝国。人生还剩下些什么,我们应该怎样度过一生?Kenton小姐的一生同样动人,等待你三十年,最终才明白有些东西是等不到的。#dignity
