Geishan muistelmat (engl. Memoirs of a Geisha) on Arthur Goldenin kirjoittama romaani, joka ilmestyi suomeksi 1997 Irmeli Ruuskan suomentamana. Tarinan pääosassa on Sayuri-niminen geisha, joka on tuotu lapsena erääseen geisha-taloon Kiotoon Japaniin, ja hän kasvoi siellä aikuiseksi. Kirjan pohjalta on tehty samanniminen elokuva. Kirja on historiallinen romaani, tosiasioihin pohjautuvaa fiktiota. Kirja on loistava niinkuin on elokuvakin. . .sanon vain, että kannatta lukea kirja ja katsoa elokuva. ( ![]()
Golden fills the book with vivid images and subtle descriptions of the nuances of Japanese culture, and is absolutely brilliant in his description of the customs and rituals of the geisha. Through the meticulous detail the reader can fully understand the politics, rivalries, and traditions of the Japan geisha society. Mr. Golden gives us not only a richly sympathetic portrait of a woman, but also a finely observed picture of an anomalous and largely vanished world. He has made an impressive and unusual debut. Haarhuis's foreword and Golden's epilogue, the one appropriating the guise of a novel and the other taking it off, suggest an author who is of two minds when it comes to his work. It is not surprising, then, if his readers share this uncertainty. The decision to write an autobiographically styled novel rather than a nonfiction portrait is most obviously justified in terms of empathy, of allowing greater freedom to explore the geisha's inner life. Unfortunately, Sayuri's personality seems so familiar it is almost generic; she is not so much an individual as a faultless arrangement of feminine virtues.
A fisherman's daughter in 1930s Japan rises to become a famous geisha. After training, Sayuri's virginity is sold to the highest bidder, then the school finds her a general for a patron. When he dies, she is reunited with the only man she loved. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
