Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Remains of the Day (1989) is the third published novel by Japanese-British author Kazuo Ishiguro. The Remains of The Day is one of the most highly-regarded post-war British novels. It won the Booker Prize in 1989 for Best Fiction, and was later adapted into an Academy-Award nominated film, starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. The novel ranks in the Sunday Times list of 100 greatest novels. Like Ishiguro's previous two novels, the story is told from the first person point of view with the narrator recalling his life through a letter to an unknown person, perhaps another butler, while progressing through the present. Events in the narrator's contemporary life remind him of events from his past. The novel was Ishiguro's first not based in Japan or told from the point of view of a Japanese person, although his first novel, A Pale View of Hills, was told from the point of view of an elderly Japanese woman living in Britain and recalling her past in Japan. The novel The Remains of the Day tells the story of Stevens, an English butler who dedicates his life to the loyal service of Lord Darlington (mentioned in increasing detail in flashbacks). The novel begins with Stevens receiving a letter from an ex-colleague called Miss Kenton, describing her married life, which he believes hints at her unhappy marriage. The receipt of the letter allows Stevens the opportunity to revisit this once-cherished relationship, if only under the guise of possible re-employment. Stevens' new employer, a wealthy American named Mr. Farraday, encourages Stevens to borrow a...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=133721 ... Read more

Excerpt: Part of a series onBuddhism Portal of BuddhismOutline of Buddhism Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki ( Suzuki Daisetsu Teitar, October 18, 1870 July 12, 1966) was a Japanese author of books and essays on Buddhism, Zen and Shin that were instrumental in spreading interest in both Zen and Shin (and Far Eastern philosophy in general) to the West. Suzuki was also a prolific translator of Chinese, Japanese, and Sanskrit literature. Suzuki spent several lengthy stretches teaching or lecturing at Western universities, and devoted many years to a professorship at Otani University, a Japanese Buddhist school. D. T. Suzuki was born Teitar Suzuki in Honda-machi, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, the fourth son of physician Ryojun Suzuki. (The Buddhist name Daisetz, meaning "Great Simplicity" (The kanji of which can also mean "Greatly Clumsy"), was given to him by his Zen master Soyen Shaku.) Although his birthplace no longer exists, a humble monument marks its location (a tree with a rock at its base). The Samurai class into which Suzuki was born declined with the fall of feudalism, which forced Suzuki's mother, a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist, to raise him in impoverished circumstances after his father died. When he became old enough to reflect on his fate in being born into this situation, he began to look for answers in various forms of religion. His naturally sharp and philosophical intellect found difficulty i...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=730735 ... Read more

Excerpt: George Iain Duncan Smith (born 9 April 1954) is a British politician. He served as the Leader of the Conservative Party from 12 September 2001 to 6 November 2003. He is currently a member of the Cabinet, holding the portfolio of Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, and is a Member of Parliament (MP) representing the London constituency Chingford and Woodford Green. He is also the Chairman of the Centre for Social Justice, a policy group he established which is independent of the Conservative Party. He is often referred to by his initials, "IDS". Duncan Smith was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, the son of W. G. G. Duncan Smith, a Royal Air Force Group Captain highly decorated in World War II, and his wife Pamela, a ballerina, whom he married in 1946. Pamela's maternal grandmother, Iain's great-grandmother, was Ellen Oshey, a Japanese woman. Iain Duncan Smith is therefore one-eighth Japanese. Other descendants include British Canadian CBC wartime broadcaster Peter Stursberg, whose 2002 book, No Foreign Bones in China, records the story of this uncommon couple, and his son, current CBC vice-president, Richard Stursberg. Through Group Captain Shaw, Duncan Smith is also a distant relative of George Bernard Shaw, the Irish playwright and socialist. Duncan Smith was educated at HMS Conway, a naval training school on the isle of Anglesey, where he played rugby union in the position of fly-half alongside Clive Woodward at centre. He also attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He joined the Scots Guards in 1975, with his six-year ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=159548 ... Read more
