About the book: 2001 / The life story of one of the most famous geishas of the 20th century, Nitta Sayuri. Even if you are not a fan of romance novels and do not believe in love at first sight and for life, you will get an unforgettable pleasure from the opportunity to plunge into the atmosphere of the Land of the Rising Sun and get to know an unfamiliar, closed to outsiders, society from the inside. A novel about a completely different life, a door into another world that belongs to men alone. A world where women never say what they think, only what they want to hear, what they are supposed to say. They cannot have desires, they cannot have choices. They move from birth to death along a predetermined road, and the likelihood of turning off it is negligible. They exist, but do not fully live, because they become themselves only in complete solitude, and this is also denied to them. The work of a geisha - beauty and art - from the outside. From the inside there is only labor, cruel, exhausting, hypocritical. And besides him there is nothing. Nothing at all.
