Viac o knihe

This is a seductive and evocative epic on an intimate scale, which tells the extraordinary story of a geisha girl. Summoning up more than twenty years of Japan's most dramatic history, it uncovers a hidden world of eroticism and enchantment, exploitation and degredation. From a small fishing village in 1929, the tale moves to the glamorous and decadent heart of Kyoto in the 1930s, where 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; it exquisitely evokes another culture, a different time and the details of an extraordinary way of life. It conjures up the perfection and the ugliness of life behind rice-paper screens, where young girls learn the arts of the geisha - dancing and singing, how to wind the kimonok, how to walk and pour tea, and how to beguile the most powerful men.

Kniha je úžasná ale oto smutnější když si uvědomíte že čtěte něčí život a otřesné věci které musel snášet. Gejša mě uchvátila tím jak je zpracovaná. Úplně se do toho ponoříte a prožíváte jejich život s nimi znova a znova. Je to ale opravdu těžká kniha na psychiku.
