Krátky popis
From Akutagawa Prize-winning author Kiyoko Murata comes a dazzling
historical novel about the courtesans whose strike brought down a
red-light district'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 protA©gA©e 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.
