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.

沒有看過電影,不知道拍齣來的效果如何,但相信有些書中非常齣彩和重要的地方,是很難用電影錶達齣來的,例如那色彩紛呈眼花繚亂的和服文化,真是讓我嘆為觀止瞭一把。書中對和服的色彩、質地、花樣、款式、穿著方法以及什麼階段穿何種和服描寫得很詳盡生動。(這衣服真美呀,...
評分記不得是什麼時候看的這部電影,當時深深的被震撼,感觸和啓示一並讓我覺得那是一部特彆好的影片。那時它總像在一些時候告訴我,要堅持,生活總是有那麼多的磨難,就像小百閤。影片總歸是美滿結尾,就像小百閤和會長一樣,多年心底的愛戀,纔發現對方原與自己是一樣的感情。這...
評分每天地鐵來迴上班下班的幾站路時間,每天幾頁,終於把這本書看完瞭。雖然這是一本可以隨時停下來的書(以我的情況來看,不停下也不行,地鐵站裏的人流不可小覷),但是仍不失為一本情節十分吸引人的浪漫小說。 幾年前,看過藝伎迴憶錄的電影。電影中的具體情節已經印...
評分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...
評分現在是我kindle裏的長期住戶瞭,難得看完之後沒被我立即處理掉的小說類。留著,再讀。 好在 1)文字錶達很美,語言很巧妙 2)作者作為西方人,對東方式的情緒把握得很好 3)雖然小說有虛構的部分,但是情節很順暢(現在情節完全順暢的小說不多瞭) 4)作為娛樂性很好的小說,...

評分讀這本書的意義在於關於日本藝妓的文化~
評分給我更多的是日本的異國文化 至少結局還是感動瞭
評分光環圍繞下,身為女人的無奈。同是可憐女人還要互相迫害,到最後無論誰輸誰贏,都是一場空。
評分大一的時候英文版看不懂,沒辦法隻有慢慢的啃,現在迴頭看來,也是一種情懷瞭呢
