In the tradition of Robert Fagles's translation of the Iliad and the Odyssey, Viking presents a stunning translation of Lady Murasaki's exquisite portrait of courtly life in medieval Japan. Written in the eleventh century, The Tale of Genji is widely celebrated as the world's first novel, but as Donald Keene has observed, it is also "one of its greatest." Genji the Shining Prince, the son of an emperor, is a passionate character whose tempestuous nature, family circumstances, love affairs, alliances, and shifting political fortunes form the core of this magnificent epic. Throughout, The Tale of Genji offers a lively and well-rounded glimpse of golden age Japan with a cast of characters as richly conceived and nuanced as those of Proust. Royall Tyler's superb translation, detailed and poetic, is scrupulously true to the Japanese original but appeals immediately to the modern reader as well. Tyler includes detailed notes, glossaries, character lists, and chronologies to help the reader navigate the multigenerational narrative and its references. Magnificently packaged in a two-volume set with a slipcase, this is a literary event comparable to Seamus Heaney's bestselling translation of Beowulf. It will spark interest in this masterpiece of world literature and serve as the standard edition for many years to come.
Translated by Royall Tyler.

读后感
说起来,源氏是非常舒适的枕边书.但也只能是枕边书.夜深人静时候闲闲看上一章.若是大白日里一章章通读下来,只怕好多人都会被那些琐碎重复的描写闷死的. 我这些天在想物语里那些母女两代承恩的故事.夕颜和玉鬘,六条和秋好.都是非常有意思的对比. 夕颜出场时已是一女之母,但却让...
评分作者：子非鱼兮 提交日期：2005-11-3 10:10:00 周作人对丰子恺翻译的《源氏物语》颇不以为然，大概是因为丰的译文参考了谷崎润一郎改译《源氏物语》的缘故，免不了有再创作的影子。丰译的《源氏物语》鄙处藏有，只是还没来得及读，所以不便多说，不过，以周...
评分五一闲翻书的时候，看到一篇旧文：大野晋的《如何阅读《源氏物语》——对未经论证的“武田说”的再评价》。虽然是旧文，但因为之前没有看过这类文章，所以觉得其中的观点颇新奇，于是按照文中的方法又重新翻阅了一下《源氏物语》和《紫式部日记》，更是有趣。这几年，国内重版...
评分看到很多人认真的讨论源氏物语里喜欢谁，不喜欢谁，但对我来说，这本书实在是距离太遥远了，里头的社交法则也很陌生，所有的人物都笼罩在社会习俗之下，很少见个性鲜明突出的，难怪有人不服气把它和《红楼梦》比，别说是红楼梦了，就是唐传奇中，举出一位崔莺莺，其个性之突出...
评分趁1000年周年的东风，国内也跟着狠出了几套各种各样的源氏物语。我觉得非常遗憾，这又是一本不推荐大家买的书。上一本是http://www.douban.com/review/1563234/（不过这本是田边圣子女士的改写，其实不可通比，在此道歉） 可喜可贺的是这次作者终于是紫式...
