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年曾有青海齣版社的中文版本。當年讀過,以飱獵奇之心,對文本本身沒過多留意,那醉醺醺的房子、灰如水銀的眼睛是給我印象最為深刻的。曆經數年,好萊塢要拍電影,我知道後很樂,匆匆翻瞭一下舊書。不久之後,99.com的編輯告訴我,作為影視同期書的新版書上市瞭。我第一...
評分在我讀過的為數不多的歐美小說中,《藝妓迴憶錄》算是最對我胃口的一本瞭,可能我的口味太過東方,那種細膩的、娓娓道來的敘述,濃鬱的藝妓文化、東瀛風情,隻言片語裏都有著濃濃的東方味兒。 在一個單追求閱讀快感的普通讀者看來, 這本小說具有足夠的可...
評分行文流暢引人入勝,節奏舒緩得當,感情細膩真實,是好看的故事。小說主體色調溫柔平和,不刻意談政治,人物塑造不教條主義。 缺點是女性視角偶爾彆扭不逼真,心理描寫略嫌繁復,某些比喻意象——也許是刻意為瞭追求“東方”感——很怪異。看問題的角度單一,有時候甚至太過天真...
評分逆境就像一陣狂風, 從我們手中奪走本來無法被奪走的東西, 狂風過後, 我們看到是原形畢露的自己。 我學會瞭讓我性格裏的水凝滯結冰, 唯有用這種方法停止我思潮的自然流動, 我纔能忍受這等待。
評分“但如今我已明白,我們的世界不再是無風無浪,一成不變。不管有什麼爭鬥與勝利,我們都可以挺受過來。但很快就會散開成為一層薄薄塗料,正像水彩顔料塗到瞭一張紙上。” 這是書的結尾,小百閤以平靜的口吻訴說完自己的故事,正如她的生命也走到瞭盡頭。 得到這本書...
