KAZUO ISHIGURO, THE REMAINS OF THE DAY - READING, LISTENING, WRITING ACTIVITIES (B2 - C1)
Kazuo Ishiguro won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature .
Ishiguro has met incredible acclaim for his seven novels, which include Never Let Me Go and The Buried Giant. Probably
Ishiguro's most beloved book is The Remains of the Day (Man Booker Prize, 1989) which was adapted into a film starring
Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson in 1993. The movie is one of the
Merchant-Ivory classics with A Room with a View and Howards End.
The story is told from a first person point of view. The narrator, Stevens, a butler, recalls his life in the form of a diary while the action progresses through to the present. Much of the novel is concerned with Stevens' professional and, above all, personal relationship with a former colleague, the housekeeper Miss Kenton.
