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.

在阿瑟·哥顿小说《艺伎回忆录》的结尾,纽约街头,“一个矮小的日本老妇,穿着和服”,正在“穿过公园大道”,这是属于渐渐逝去时代的身影。同名影片中,章、巩、杨的倾力演出,由于“倾力”,已乱了方寸,顿失“艺伎”这个名称所指涉的舒缓、雍容。这一代的所谓名伶,竟是怎...
評分行文流畅引人入胜,节奏舒缓得当,感情细腻真实,是好看的故事。小说主体色调温柔平和,不刻意谈政治,人物塑造不教条主义。 缺点是女性视角偶尔别扭不逼真,心理描写略嫌繁复,某些比喻意象——也许是刻意为了追求“东方”感——很怪异。看问题的角度单一,有时候甚至太过天真...

評分“但如今我已明白,我们的世界不再是无风无浪,一成不变。不管有什么争斗与胜利,我们都可以挺受过来。但很快就会散开成为一层薄薄涂料,正像水彩颜料涂到了一张纸上。” 这是书的结尾,小百合以平静的口吻诉说完自己的故事,正如她的生命也走到了尽头。 得到这本书...
