Perfect title
Not for everyone. Spoiler Alert. An intensive study about a very inwardly deficient man who bases his life on pretty much one rule of the “the perfect quality” one should strive for to attain the true and proper way of conducting ones life, sadly excluding all else that may contribute to happiness in his life. Leaving him much hollowness to overcome in the later years of his life.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A marvellous master piece!
Ishiguro is one of the finest writers of the century. His mastery of the English life and his mastery over the English language are unparalleled. He has a poetic approach to things even when writing about the concrete actualities of life.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great price
The books are in great condition for being used. I expected stickers, folded pages, writing, and such, but the books weren’t even really at that level of use. Plus I was able to get 3/4 of the books I was looking for here, so the selection was awesome.
