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.
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...
评分现在是我kindle里的长期住户了,难得看完之后没被我立即处理掉的小说类。留着,再读。 好在 1)文字表达很美,语言很巧妙 2)作者作为西方人,对东方式的情绪把握得很好 3)虽然小说有虚构的部分,但是情节很顺畅(现在情节完全顺畅的小说不多了) 4)作为娱乐性很好的小说,...
评分不论细节真假,一个在美国混了40年的艺妓肯定比较无敌的,因此我愿意相信她的话。 女人何苦为难女人?可惜当人们处在一种封闭的环境下互相充满敌意时,他们相互对立的思想走不了多远的。小百合最后确实胜利了,“可恶”的初桃也沦为了低等妓女。如果是个故事此时终结确实精彩,...
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。...
怎样把日本艺伎文化呈现给西方世界本身就很tricky 虽然有些歧义 可是这个故事还是很touching 读完以后反而觉得nobu有时候很可爱 不过sayuri最后还是坚定的跟chairman在一起了 就像她当初想的一样 就这一点她比很多人都幸福
评分光环围绕下,身为女人的无奈。同是可怜女人还要互相迫害,到最后无论谁输谁赢,都是一场空。
评分看的中文版,不知道译文和原著差别多大,个人很喜欢。。
评分Coolidge Corner二手书店买的书终于看完了。前面节奏太慢,最后一章很感动。 So Michael, who did his BA degree in Asian studies at U of Chicago spoke highly of this book, which makes me pick up where I left a few years ago and continue. During the first 80%, i was like, what? ? Why is it so plainly written with such blandness? Somehow the last chapter really touches me.
