Book 1: The Buried Giant

The Buried Giant, an exquisite novel by contemporary British writer of Japanese descent Kazuo Ishiguro, immerses the reader in the semi-mythical atmosphere and history of the early Middle Ages.

What should a person look for: truth or deception, a forgotten past or a lonely future, deceptive reconciliation or bloody revenge-war, sharp objectivity or fortune-telling illusion? These questions gradually and slowly emerge from the pages of the novel, and each individual reader must courageously give himself or herself the answers to them after turning the last page. The answers are painful, like gusts of wind among high cliffs, and sweet, like the warm gaze of a loved one after all the words are finished...

Book 2. Don't let go of me

Kazuo Ishiguro is a British writer of Japanese descent, screenwriter, and Man Booker Prize winner. His book Don't Let Me Go is a poignant story that is rightfully included in the list of the best English works of all time. It is a novel with elements of science fiction and dystopia, a story about the search for answers, love, friendship, memory, hope and hopelessness. Katie, the protagonist of the book, tries to understand and accept her childhood and adolescence at the privileged boarding school Gailsham and beyond, her otherness from people and the destiny of being a donor chosen for Katie and her closest friends. It's a long journey of memories, feelings, and revelations that slowly build a new picture of the world for the characters.

«Don't Let Me Go» translated by Sofia Andrukhovych is the first book by Kazuo Ishiguro published in Ukrainian. The publication was designed by Nazar Haiduchyk and Oksana Yorysh, whose works, like freeze-frames from a painted film, added to the subtle emotional tension of the text a play of light and shadows and dynamic accents.

Book 3. The Rest of the Day

In the summer of 1956, Stevens, a butler who has served a wealthy estate called Darlington Hall all his life, embarks on a road trip to southwest England. The short six-day outing turns into a journey into the past, set against the backdrop of the magnificent English landscape, a past in which personal dramas play out alongside those of the world. This novel, for which Kazuo Ishiguro won the Man Booker Prize, is a sophisticated story of unspoken feelings and hidden despair, of the regret that overshadows the rest of the day when you realise bitterly that things could have been different...
