Arthur Golden, an American writer of Japanese descent, published a novel in 1997, which quickly became a bestseller, inspired by conversations with a real geisha, from which he created an epic story of beauty, ambition and survival in pre-war Japan.
The novel follows the life of Emma Bovary, a young woman trapped in the monotony of provincial life and her own romantic illusions. Flaubert criticizes romantic ideals and social hypocrisy, showing the tragic consequences of Emma's escape from reality.
This is an excellent romantic story about a failed marriage, adultery without passion and the suicide of a young woman who fantasized about an exciting life, waiting in vain for a change in the small-town everyday life.
The novella was published for the first time in 1961 in the magazine Novij mir and aroused anger among critics, pointing out that it is only "about the narrow, intimate experiences of the heroine".
