In this literary tour de force, novelist Arthur Golden enters a remote and shimmeringly exotic world. For the protagonist of this peerlessly observant first novel is Sayuri, one of Japan's most celebrated geisha, a woman who is both performer and courtesan, slave and goddess.
We follow Sayuri from her childhood in an impoverished fishing village, where in 1929, she is sold to a representative of a geisha house, who is drawn by the child's unusual blue-grey eyes. From there she is taken to Gion, the pleasure district of Kyoto. She is nine years old. In the years that follow, as she works to pay back the price of her purchase, Sayuri will be schooled in music and dance, learn to apply the geisha's elaborate makeup, wear elaborate kimono, and care for a coiffure so fragile that it requires a special pillow. She will also acquire a magnanimous tutor and a venomous rival. Surviving the intrigues of her trade and the upheavals of war, the resourceful Sayuri is a romantic heroine on the order of Jane Eyre and Scarlett O'Hara. And Memoirs of a Geisha is a triumphant work - suspenseful, and utterly persuasive.
"Astonishing . . . breathtaking . . . You are seduced completely."
--Washington Post Book World
"Captivating, minutely imagined . . . a novel that refuses to stay shut."
--Newsweek
"A story with the social vibrancy and narrative sweep of a much-loved 19th century bildungsroman. . . . This is a high-wire act. . . . Rarely has a world so closed and foreign been evoked with such natural assurance."
--The New Yorker

多年前看的电影,因为中国人演日本艺伎就很不喜欢。拿起书本的时候,电影情节已经忘得一干二净,但阅读过程中理所当然地用章子怡、杨紫琼和巩俐的脸去脑补了这些角色。有时候文字的确能比电影更细腻地表达感情,这本就是例证。
评分电影刚出来的时候看的电影。前两天偶尔淘到了书,抽着挤着时间读完了。描述手法不错,不过一到细节描写,英文就没有中文丰富。硬伤。

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《艺伎回忆录》最大的看点在于它的异国情调,即对日本艺妓文化的呈现。尽管有传闻说,阿瑟·高顿的描写与实际情况相去甚远,但作为一部满足读者猎奇心理的通俗读物,这些已经足够了。 而小说的故事本身就乏善可陈,它的某些桥段让我联想到了一部少女小说——《长腿叔叔》,同样...
评分行文流畅引人入胜,节奏舒缓得当,感情细腻真实,是好看的故事。小说主体色调温柔平和,不刻意谈政治,人物塑造不教条主义。 缺点是女性视角偶尔别扭不逼真,心理描写略嫌繁复,某些比喻意象——也许是刻意为了追求“东方”感——很怪异。看问题的角度单一,有时候甚至太过天真...
评分每天地铁来回上班下班的几站路时间,每天几页,终于把这本书看完了。虽然这是一本可以随时停下来的书(以我的情况来看,不停下也不行,地铁站里的人流不可小觑),但是仍不失为一本情节十分吸引人的浪漫小说。 几年前,看过艺伎回忆录的电影。电影中的具体情节已经印...
