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.

評分總體來說書比電影要好看,或者是覺得電影的篇幅有限,沒有辦法錶達這本300多頁的書的內容。故事情節很精彩,人物心理描寫也很到位,如果拍成電視劇可能會更好些? 作者寫的還是不錯的,雖然發錶之後好像也有些版權方麵的什麼糾葛。從文學的角度,覺著作者對於日本文化的理解,...
評分急著去買這本齣瞭好幾年的書來看,可能還是受瞭即將上映的電影的影響,總之,現在後悔已經太晚,而且後悔程度也不是很高。這本書屬於可買可不買的行列,打分下來,大概可以有三分吧。 本來是抱著某種偏見去看的,懷著信心去期待一本描寫女性如何在男性的世界裏彼此傾軋,爭奪...
