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.

评分This is a beautifully written story. I like the language used by geisha. Their job is to "entertain" people, to make people feel pleasant. This is really art in everyday life however in real life people too often don't pay much attention to other people's f...
评分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...
