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
每天地铁来回上班下班的几站路时间,每天几页,终于把这本书看完了。虽然这是一本可以随时停下来的书(以我的情况来看,不停下也不行,地铁站里的人流不可小觑),但是仍不失为一本情节十分吸引人的浪漫小说。 几年前,看过艺伎回忆录的电影。电影中的具体情节已经印...
评分“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...
评分逆境就像一阵狂风, 从我们手中夺走本来无法被夺走的东西, 狂风过后, 我们看到是原形毕露的自己。 我学会了让我性格里的水凝滞结冰, 唯有用这种方法停止我思潮的自然流动, 我才能忍受这等待。
评分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《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。...
补标,文字描写的很细腻
