| Memoirs of a Geisha: A Novel by Arthur Golden | |
 |
Memoirs of a Geisha : A Novel An alluring tour-de-force: a stunningly original novel told as the true confessions of one of Japan's most celebrated geisha. Taking readers behind rice-paper screens to a world of beauty and cruelty--where appearances are paramount, where men feud over the price of a girl's virginity--Memoirs of a Geisha is an epic on an intimate scale. "Part historical novel, part fairy tale and part Dickensian romance, Memoirs of a Geisha immerses the reader in an exotic world, even as it relates the story of one women's coming of age" (The New York Times). |

He highlights more than 30 native species of deciduous trees, shrubs, and conifers and explains the necessary elements of growing and shaping them. He offers detailed pointers on Bonsai's aesthetic requirements, and numerous color photographs illustrate this art form that originated in China and evolved more fully in Japan. Written for newcomers, Busch's manual yet provides helpful counsel to experienced gardeners, too. Copyright© 1995, American Library Association. All rights reserved. |
