內容簡介
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.

石黑一雄,著名日裔英國小說傢。曾獲得瞭在英語文學裏享有盛譽的“布剋奬”。他的文體以細膩優美著稱,幾乎每部小說都被提名或得奬,其作品已被翻譯成二十八種語言。
所獲奬項: 1989年,石黑一雄獲得瞭在英語文學裏享有盛譽的“布剋奬”。石黑一雄的文體以細膩優美著稱,幾乎每部小說都被提名或得奬,其作品已被翻譯成二十八種語言。
石黑一雄年輕時即享譽世界文壇,與魯西迪、奈波爾被稱為“英國文壇移民三雄”,以“國際主義作傢”自稱。曾被英國皇室授勛為文學騎士,並獲授法國藝術文學騎士勛章。
雖然擁有日本和英國雙重的文化背景,但石黑一雄卻是極為少數的、不專以移民或是國族認同作為小說題材的亞裔作傢之一。即使評論傢們總是想方設法,試圖從他的小說中找尋齣日本文化的神髓,或是耙梳齣後殖民理論的蛛絲馬跡,但事實上,石黑一雄本人從來不刻意去操作亞裔的族群認同,而更以身為一個國際主義的作傢來自詡。
對石黑一雄而言,小說乃是一個國際化的文學載體,而在一個日益全球化的現代世界中,要如何纔能突破地域的疆界,寫齣一本對於生活在任何一個文化背景之下的人們,都能夠産生意義的小說,纔是他一嚮努力的目標。因此,石黑一雄與並稱為“英國文壇移民三雄”的魯西迪、奈波爾相比,便顯得大不相同瞭。
