The Remains of the Day is the 1989 Booker Prize-winning work of Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro, and is also his most important representative work. The novel begins with the memories of butler Stevens, telling about his experiences in serving Lord Darlington for more than 30 years. Although he reached the peak of his career, Stevens suppressed his emotions too coldly and pursued perfect performance of his duties. He missed his father's last meeting before his death, and then missed love. Through the protagonist's memories, the novel unravels a person's life journey in front of the readers, and also reflects the international political landscape during the extraordinary period between World War I and World War II.
The 1993 film adaptation of the novel of the same name (also known as "The Goodbye, Peter Pan"), starring famous British actors Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson, received eight Oscar nominations and six British Academy Film Awards nominations, becoming a classic in film history.
