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.

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。
評分不論細節真假,一個在美國混瞭40年的藝妓肯定比較無敵的,因此我願意相信她的話。 女人何苦為難女人?可惜當人們處在一種封閉的環境下互相充滿敵意時,他們相互對立的思想走不瞭多遠的。小百閤最後確實勝利瞭,“可惡”的初桃也淪為瞭低等妓女。如果是個故事此時終結確實精彩,...
評分 評分我不知道藝伎的“伎”字是什麼意思,我隻知道若寫成“妓”沒準被人笑話。。。 我說的是阿瑟·高頓的小說,我終於把它看完瞭。先看的電影,看的沒頭沒腦,莫名其妙,以為美國的大導演鬍亂竄改,後來纔明白原來不是。隻是這樣的講述一個特彆名族的特彆族群的故事,不用文字來...

評分原著在展現日式風情上顯然更勝一籌。。
評分第一個幾近讀完的英文長篇小說。很吸引人。我懷疑因為是小說,作者應該做過很多的潤色和安排,因為情節太小說瞭。
評分Coolidge Corner二手書店買的書終於看完瞭。前麵節奏太慢,最後一章很感動。 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.
