The Remains of the Day: Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature

This is a heartbreaking, pitch-perfect novel about a butler named Stevens who tries to give his narrow existence form and meaning through the self-effacing, almost mystical practice of his profession.

Despite being oblivious to the real life going on around him, including the fact that his aristocrat employer is a Nazi sympathizer, Stevens' own ability to allow some bit of life-affirming love into his tightly repressed existence is at stake in this profoundly compelling portrait of a butler and his fading, insular world in post-World War II England.

With its intricate and dazzling narrative, this novel is a must-read for anyone looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant literary experience.
