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.

《一个艺妓的回忆》。 书中我印象最深的,是小百合询问真美羽是否对包养她的男爵有感情。 真美羽:“男爵同我的关系,对他来说是很方便的,对我来说是很有利的。如果我们的交往缠上了感情……那么,感情就很快滑进嫉妒,甚至忌恨。我当然经不起某个有权势的人恨我。...
评分《艺伎回忆录》最大的看点在于它的异国情调,即对日本艺妓文化的呈现。尽管有传闻说,阿瑟·高顿的描写与实际情况相去甚远,但作为一部满足读者猎奇心理的通俗读物,这些已经足够了。 而小说的故事本身就乏善可陈,它的某些桥段让我联想到了一部少女小说——《长腿叔叔》,同样...
评分 评分This is a beautifully written story. I like the language used by geisha. Their job is to "entertain" people, to make people feel pleasant. This is really art in everyday life however in real life people too often don't pay much attention to other people's f...
评分没有看过电影,不知道拍出来的效果如何,但相信有些书中非常出彩和重要的地方,是很难用电影表达出来的,例如那色彩纷呈眼花缭乱的和服文化,真是让我叹为观止了一把。书中对和服的色彩、质地、花样、款式、穿着方法以及什么阶段穿何种和服描写得很详尽生动。(这衣服真美呀,...
