Review:
The novel's narrator, Stevens, is a perfect English butler who tries to give his narrow existence form and meaning through the self-effacing, almost mystical practice of his profession. In a career that spans the second World War, Stevens is oblivious of the real life that goes on around him -- oblivious, for instance, of the fact that his aristocrat employer is a Nazi sympathizer. Still, there are even larger matters at stake in this heartbreaking, pitch-perfect novel -- namely, Stevens' own ability to allow some bit of life-affirming love into his tightly repressed existence.
From the Inside Flap:
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.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Eine wunderschön-melancholische Liebesgeschichte.Stevens dient als Butler auf Darlington Hall. Er sorgt für einen tadellosen Haushalt und ist die Verschwiegenheit in Person: Niemals würde er auch nur ein Wort über die merkwürdigen Vorgänge im Herrenhaus verlieren. Er stellt sein Leben voll und ganz in den Dienst seines Herrn. Auch die vorsichtigen Annäherungsversuche von Miss Kenton, der Haushälterin, weist er brüsk zurück. Die Jahre vergehen, Stevens lebt ergeben in seiner Welt, bis ihn eines Tages die Vergangenheit einholt. »Was vom Tage übrigblieb« ist ein gesellschaftskritischer Roman, erzählt von jemandem, der sich eine solche Kritik nie erlauben würde, und eine wunderschöne, traurige Liebesgeschichte, erzählt von einem, der nie auch nur ahnte, dass er geliebt hat. 258 pp. Englisch.
