具體描述
A literary sensation and runaway bestseller, this brilliant debut novel tells with seamless authenticity and exquisite lyricism the true confessions of one of Japan's most celebrated geisha.
Speaking to us with the wisdom of age and in a voice at once haunting and startlingly immediate, Nitta Sayuri tells the story of her life as a geisha. It begins in a poor fishing village in 1929, when, as a nine-year-old girl with unusual blue-gray eyes, she is taken from her home and sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house. We witness her transformation as she learns the rigorous arts of the geisha: dance and music; wearing kimono, elaborate makeup, and hair; pouring sake to reveal just a touch of inner wrist; competing with a jealous rival for men's solicitude and the money that goes with it.
In Memoirs of a Geisha, we enter a world where appearances are paramount; where a girl's virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder; where women are trained to beguile the most powerful men; and where love is scorned as illusion. It is a unique and triumphant work of fiction -- at once romantic, erotic, suspenseful -- and completely unforgettable.

用戶評價
沒看過電影，看見很多書單都推薦這個書，評價很高。。。。可是。。。可是。。。。覺得實在是很一般啊。。。。不過英語生詞倒是極少，讀起來流暢無比
评分原著很好
评分你被誘惑瞭
评分很罕有的拿著一本英文小說竟然放不下手的把它讀完，至少可以肯定的是作為一本非純娛樂性小說，它的可讀性很強。非常值得錶揚的是男性作者把一個東方女人，一個完全不同文化下的心態描寫得這麼細緻入微與真實。對於東方文化和價值觀的闡述或許稍微有些淺顯與過瞭點，但對於西方讀者而言，未嘗不能算是開闊眼界。
评分說到底不過是一個女人尋求真愛的故事.Half authentic half fictional, a masterpiece hands down.
