ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro tells the story of Stevens, an aging butler, as he embarks on a road trip in 1956. The journey becomes a backdrop for his memories, particularly his past service to Lord Darlington and his relationship with the housekeeper, Miss Kenton. The book explores themes of dignity, duty, and the nature of greatness through Stevens’s reflections. He grapples with the meaning of his life, questioning if his rigid adherence to his professional ideals came at the cost of personal fulfillment. The narrative unfolds as a witty and poignant meditation on the responsibilities of an ordinary man, set against the backdrop of historical events.
