Memoirs Of A Geisha Uk – Arthur Golden

Popis

This story is a rare and utterly engaging experience. It tells the
extraordinary story of a geisha -summoning up a quarter century from 1929
to the post-war years of Japan’s dramatic history, and opening a window
into a half-hidden world of eroticism and enchantment, exploitation and
degradation. A young peasant girl is sold as servant and apprentice to a
renowned geisha house. She tells her story many years later from the
Waldorf Astoria in New York. Her memoirs conjure up the perfection and the
ugliness of life behind rice-paper screens, where young girls learn the
arts of geisha – dancing and singing, how to wind the kimono, how to walk
and pour tea, and how to beguile the most land’s powerful men.
