內容簡介
內容簡介 榮獲芥川龍之介獎等多項日本文學大獎作家村田喜代子經典代表作，描繪日本明治時期女性覺醒與抗爭的史詩級小說。「不可辯駁且優美。」—— 《紐約時報》 「唯有村田喜代子能傳達這個世界的樣貌。」—— 《秘密結晶》作者 小川洋子，《讀賣新聞》那是 1903 年，堅韌且富有生命力的Aoi Ichi被賣到了日本熊本最頂級的青樓，成為最高等級花魁東雲(Shinonome)的接班弟子。透過東雲的教導，十五歲的Ichi開始理解性與金錢背後交織的權力關係。花魁的教育遠不止於誘惑的藝術；隨著Ichi學習識字與書寫，她逐漸磨練出自己的心聲，拒絕被青樓森嚴的等級制度所磨滅。在花街柳巷那與世隔絕的世界之外，當地工人罷工的傳聞甚囂塵上。隨著熊本的四季輪轉，Ichi、東雲與她們的同伴開始思考，如何將青樓的權力與財富重新分配到她們手中。備受讚譽的資深作家村田喜代子，極致細膩地刻畫了二十世紀之交花街女性既嚴酷又充滿韌性的生活。《A Woman of Pleasure》根據真實事件改編，是一部見證女性情誼、奪回話語權與追求自由的震撼之作。'Irrefutable and beautiful' New York Times'Only Kiyoko Murata can convey this world' YOKO OGAWA, author of The Memory Police, Yomiuri ShibunThe year is 1903, and tenacious and spirited Aoi Ichi is sold to the most exclusive brothel in Kumamoto, Japan, becoming the protégée of Shinonome, the oiran, or the highest-ranking courtesan.Through Shinonome's teachings, fifteen-year-old Ichi begins to understand the intertwined power of sex and money. Education for a courtesan extends beyond the art of seduction, and as Ichi is taught to read and write she develops a voice that refuses to be dampened by the brothel's rigid hierarchy.Outside the cloistered world of the red-light district, rumours of local worker strikes grow, and as the seasons change in Kumamoto, Ichi, Shinonome and their fellow courtesans begin to wonder how they might redistribute the power and wealth of the brothels among themselves.Critically acclaimed veteran writer Kiyoko Murata creates in stunning detail the harsh yet vibrant lives of women in a red-light district at the turn of the twentieth century. Based on real-life events, A Woman of Pleasure is a testament to the bonds between women and the power of owning one's language and freedom.
