In this literary tour de force, novelist Arthur Golden enters a remote and shimmeringly exotic world. For the protagonist of this peerlessly observant first novel is Sayuri, one of Japan's most celebrated geisha, a woman who is both performer and courtesan, slave and goddess.
We follow Sayuri from her childhood in an impoverished fishing village, where in 1929, she is sold to a representative of a geisha house, who is drawn by the child's unusual blue-grey eyes. From there she is taken to Gion, the pleasure district of Kyoto. She is nine years old. In the years that follow, as she works to pay back the price of her purchase, Sayuri will be schooled in music and dance, learn to apply the geisha's elaborate makeup, wear elaborate kimono, and care for a coiffure so fragile that it requires a special pillow. She will also acquire a magnanimous tutor and a venomous rival. Surviving the intrigues of her trade and the upheavals of war, the resourceful Sayuri is a romantic heroine on the order of Jane Eyre and Scarlett O'Hara. And Memoirs of a Geisha is a triumphant work - suspenseful, and utterly persuasive.
"Astonishing . . . breathtaking . . . You are seduced completely."
--Washington Post Book World
"Captivating, minutely imagined . . . a novel that refuses to stay shut."
--Newsweek
"A story with the social vibrancy and narrative sweep of a much-loved 19th century bildungsroman. . . . This is a high-wire act. . . . Rarely has a world so closed and foreign been evoked with such natural assurance."
--The New Yorker
记不得是什么时候看的这部电影,当时深深的被震撼,感触和启示一并让我觉得那是一部特别好的影片。那时它总像在一些时候告诉我,要坚持,生活总是有那么多的磨难,就像小百合。影片总归是美满结尾,就像小百合和会长一样,多年心底的爱恋,才发现对方原与自己是一样的感情。这...
评分1999年曾有青海出版社的中文版本。当年读过,以飱猎奇之心,对文本本身没过多留意,那醉醺醺的房子、灰如水银的眼睛是给我印象最为深刻的。历经数年,好莱坞要拍电影,我知道后很乐,匆匆翻了一下旧书。不久之后,99.com的编辑告诉我,作为影视同期书的新版书上市了。我第一...
评分小百合,或许你该好好照照镜子。尤其是当你的眼睛哭湿了的时候,它们就变成……我说不清,我觉得能看透你的眼睛。你知道,我很多时间都在和男人们周旋,他们从来不跟我讲真话,这个女孩从来没有见过我,却愿意让我看透她。 背叛延的信任...让对方死心的最好办法就是...
评分 评分我不知道艺伎的“伎”字是什么意思,我只知道若写成“妓”没准被人笑话。。。 我说的是阿瑟·高顿的小说,我终于把它看完了。先看的电影,看的没头没脑,莫名其妙,以为美国的大导演胡乱窜改,后来才明白原来不是。只是这样的讲述一个特别名族的特别族群的故事,不用文字来...
记得是一本很优美的书
评分补标,文字描写的很细腻
评分老外写日本的故事也不容易. 改变的电影章子怡心和巩利的艺妓形象是给老美看的. 和日本艺妓形象还是有气质的不同.
