Memoirs of a Geisha


Memoirs of a Geisha is a fascinating romance, written by Arthur Golden. The story is set in the heart of Kyoto and it shows the traditional Japanese culture from the perspective of a Geisha. Beautifully written, this book is about how a little girl from a poor fishing village turned out to be one of the most celebrated Geisha in Japan. It is a romance about sexuality, loss of innocence, and love. It shows every detail of a woman's soul, a girl who was forced to grow up too fast and who fell in love too early in a world where a Geisha must not love anybody. By contrast, she must be an artist, above all. A Geisha must entertain others and keep her world and her feelings in secret. Through Sayuri's uncommon blue-grey eyes, you'll discover a captivating mysterious world, and you'll find yourself sailing in a sea of emotions.


“Sometimes we get through adversity only by imagining what the world might be like if our dreams should ever come true.” Arthur Golden, Memoirs Of A Geisha

And this happens because nobody is completely perfect.   However, it is necessary to consider such claims, after all, every rule has exceptions. And in politics it is not different. While most politicians see...
