The resilience and bravery of fragile women, the struggle for independence, beauty and touching are in Kiyoko Murata's unforgettable novel "A Woman for Pleasure. Confessions of a Geisha", inspired by real events!Annotations at the beginning of the 20th century, the Meiji era, Japan. A young girl, Aoi Ichi, is sold to a prestigious Kumamoto brothel to pay off a family debt. And, it would seem, the girl's life is over, before it really has time to begin, because there is no way back from the pleasure quarter. However, even in such a place full of human vices and base needs, Ichi finds something more — compassion, sincerity and faith in himself and other people. Based on real historical events of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, "A Woman for Pleasure" is evidence of a true revolution of the spirit, led by delicate and fragile girls seeking to escape from the tenacious embrace of patriarchy and the cruel system of sexual exploitation. About the book• An elegant style that immerses from the first pages into the atmosphere of Japan of the Meiji era with all its contradictions and contrasts. • The opportunity to learn about history through an exciting artistic narrative: the author literally reconstructed Japan at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries. • Many footnotes that reveal the realities and culture of Japan. • Bright design with a half-cover. Inside, each chapter is marked with a sprig of sakura, and the heroine's diary entries have a special design, allowing her to feel her inner world even more subtly. Kiyoko Murata is a Japanese writer who has received numerous literary awards, including the Ryunosuke Akutagawa Prize, the Noma Literary Award, and the Yomiuri Literary Award. One of her novels was adapted into a movie by Akira Kurosawa. Beautifully written and historically accurate, the novel "A Woman for Pleasure. Confessions of a Geisha" is both an excellent example of modern Japanese prose, and a study of the cultural norms of Japan at the beginning of the 20th century, and a vivid statement about women's rights and self—determination. An ideal book as a gift for everyone who is fascinated by Japan, feminism and women's independence, Orientalists and all readers of Japanese literature who are in love with the works of Yukio Mishima and Haruki Murakami, as well as readers of the novel "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden.
