Ein alternder Mann kämpft um seine Lebenslüge: in wohlgesetzten Worten erzählt ein Butler von jenen schönen Tagen, als unter ihm 17 Dienstboten Seiner Lordschaft dienten, während dieser mit den Nazis kollaborierte.Summary An elderly butler is on a five-day motoring trip through the West Country in the 1950s. The climax of his journey is to be a reunion with his former housekeeper. This 1989 Booker Prize-winner attempts to capture a period in British history and draw a portrait of a man in old age.Review Review Booker Prize Winner 1989. An elderly butler's obsession with the dignity of his profession is shaken on a five day West Country motoring trip in the 1950s the climax of which is a meeting with his former housekeeper Miss Kenton. During the course of the narrative, he recalls in compelling and vivid detail his service in the 1930s, and the painful realization that the man he served and respected was a Nazi sympathizer. The unrealised love between Stevens and Miss Kenton underscores the novels atmosphere of chastening loss. Ishiguro's work captures this period of British history while painting a complex picture of a proud, ageing man. (Kirkus UK)
