阿瑟·高頓(Arthur Golden),生於美國田納西州查塔努加(Chattanooga),本科畢業於哈佛大學藝術史係,專攻日本藝術。1980年,獲哥倫比亞大學日本史碩士學位,兼修中文。在北京大學進修一個夏季之後,他到東京工作。迴到美國後他在波士頓大學獲英文碩士學位。目前他與妻子和兩個孩子定居馬薩諸塞州布魯剋林。《藝伎迴憶錄》是其發錶的第一部長篇小說。
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
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 評分小百合,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...
評分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...
評分整部小说的剧情其实很简单,就是一个底层女性奋斗追求真爱故事,然而带上了艺妓的标签,总让人萌生一探究竟的冲动。 艺妓回忆录是一个爱情故事,小百合对爱的追逐,从那杯甜冰开始,她余生所做的一切都是为了接近她心中的那个男人(会长)。 而事实上,故事结束前,小白和总共...
多年前看的電影,因為中國人演日本藝伎就很不喜歡。拿起書本的時候,電影情節已經忘得一乾二淨,但閱讀過程中理所當然地用章子怡、楊紫瓊和鞏俐的臉去腦補瞭這些角色。有時候文字的確能比電影更細膩地錶達感情,這本就是例證。
评分My previous prejudice was discarded. A geisha's life was far beyond the struggles and truimphs. They at last made peace with strong emotions. Immersed in an enthralling world, I was impressed by the depiction of elegantly designed kimonos and taken back by the bid for virginity.
评分電影剛齣來的時候看的電影。前兩天偶爾淘到瞭書,抽著擠著時間讀完瞭。描述手法不錯,不過一到細節描寫,英文就沒有中文豐富。硬傷。
评分嗯 日本文化
评分beauty in the atmosphere
