Book excerpt: BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, here is “an intricate and dazzling novel” (The New York Times) about the perfect butler and his fading, insular world in post-World War II England. This is Kazuo Ishiguro's profoundly compelling portrait of a butler named Stevens. Stevens, at the end of three decades of service at Darlington Hall, spending a day on a country drive, embarks as well on a journey through the past in an effort to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving the "great gentleman," Lord Darlington. But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's "greatness," and much graver doubts about the nature of his own life.

Book excerpt: Dans Les Vestiges du jour, roman porté à l'écran par James Ivory, Kazuo Ishiguro a créé un personnage mythique de la littérature anglaise contemporaine. Stevens est en effet un majordome comme on n'en fait plus. Le dénouement qui le lie à son maître, lord Darlington, semble n'avoir aucune limite, même lorsque ce dernier organise dans sa demeure des conférences internationales qui vont faciliter l'entrée en guerre des nazis. Que se passe-t-il en réalité dans la conscience de celui qui " ne voit rien, n'entend rien et ne dit rien " et comment a-t-il pu laisser partir celle qui aurait été le seul amour de sa vie ? C'est à vous, lecteur, d'en décider.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize–winning novel The Remains of the Day In the face of the misery in his homeland, the artist Masuji Ono was unwilling to devote his art solely to the celebration of physical beauty. Instead, he put his work in the service of the imperialist movement that led Japan into World War II. Now, as the mature Ono struggles through the aftermath of that war, his memories of his youth and of the "floating world"—the nocturnal world of pleasure, entertainment, and drink—offer him both escape and redemption, even as they punish him for betraying his early promise. Indicted by society for its defeat and reviled for his past aesthetics, he relives the passage through his personal history that makes him both a hero and a coward but, above all, a human being.
