We follow Sayuri from her childhood in an impoverished fishing village, where in 1929, she is sold to a representative of a geisha house, who is drawn by the child's unusual blue-grey eyes. From there she is taken to Gion, the pleasure district of Kyoto.

She is nine years old. In the years that follow, as she works to pay back the price of her purchase, Sayuri will be schooled in music and dance, learn to apply the geisha's elaborate makeup, wear elaborate kimono, and care for a coiffure so fragile that it requires a special pillow.

She will also acquire a magnanimous tutor and a venomous rival. Surviving the intrigues of her trade and the upheavals of war, the resourceful Sayuri is a romantic heroine on the order of Jane Eyre and Scarlett O'Hara.

His acquaintances spanned from lofty Rajas to dissolute Englishmen. Vivid, candid, and without fear of authority.

Beames was a defiant individual in a huge bureaucracy. He writes with a rich, descriptive prose in the manner of Defoe and Dickens.

Now back in print and in paperback, Beames's Memoirs were originally published in 1961 (Chatto & Windus and Hippocrene). Philip Mason has contributed to Memoirs of a Bengal Civilian as a content introducer.

Philip Mason was a member of the Indian Civil Service from 1928 to 1947 and is the author of many works, including "The Men Who Ruled India," which has recently been reissued. No one could have invented John Beames, whose vibrant and original memoirs were discovered by chance in an attic almost a century after they were written.

He arrived in India in 1858, the year after the Mutiny, and worked there as a civil servant for the next thirty-five years, defending powerless peasants against rapacious planters, improvising fifteen-gun salutes for visiting dignitaries, and presiding over the blissful coast of Orissa. His acquaintances spanned from lofty Rajas to dissolute Englishmen.

Like the rest of Shklovsky's fictional works, his writing illustrates the literary theories of the Russian Formalists, such as abrupt shifts in time, enstrangments, and digressions (also found in Sterne). At times lyrical, disturbing, ironic, and erudite, A Sentimental Journey is a singular book from one of the most recognizable and influential voices of twentieth-century Russian literature.

Viktor Shklovsky has contributed to A Sentimental Journey: Memoirs 1917-1922 as an author. A leading figure in the Russian Formalist movement of the 1910s and 1920s, Viktor Shklovsky (1893-1984) had a profound effect on twentieth-century Russian literature and on literary criticism throughout the world.

Several of his books have been translated into English and are available from Dalkey Archive Press. Over the next few years, Dalkey Archive Press will also publish the first English-language editions of Shklovsky's Hamburg Account and Bowstring.

Borrowing his title from Laurence Sterne, Viktor Shklovsky's A Sentimental Journey describes the travels of a bewildered intellectual through Russia, Persia, the Ukraine, and the Caucasus during the period of the Russian Revolution. Although valuable as a historical document, A Sentimental Journey is also an important experimental literary work--a memoir in the form of a novel.
