Arthur Golden was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and was educated at Harvard College, where he received a degree in art history, specializing in Japanese art. In 1980 he earned an M.A. in Japanese history from Columbia University, where he also learned Mandarin Chinese. Following a summer at Beijing University, he worked in Tokyo, and, after returning to the United States, earned an M.A. in English from Boston University. He resides in Brookline, Massachusetts, with his wife and two children.
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.

評分急着去买这本出了好几年的书来看,可能还是受了即将上映的电影的影响,总之,现在后悔已经太晚,而且后悔程度也不是很高。这本书属于可买可不买的行列,打分下来,大概可以有三分吧。 本来是抱着某种偏见去看的,怀着信心去期待一本描写女性如何在男性的世界里彼此倾轧,争夺...
評分I thought the views of kimono and Japanese traditions are interesting. 1.The pale yellow light from teahouse’s window, the beautiful garden and food and alcohol “sake”, 2. the geishas wearing geta on the wet cobblestone after the rain, walking on the str...

評分总体来说书比电影要好看,或者是觉得电影的篇幅有限,没有办法表达这本300多页的书的内容。故事情节很精彩,人物心理描写也很到位,如果拍成电视剧可能会更好些? 作者写的还是不错的,虽然发表之后好像也有些版权方面的什么纠葛。从文学的角度,觉着作者对于日本文化的理解,...
