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.

评分一 有一种公认的说法，《源氏物语》是日本的《红楼梦》。 我是要为《红楼梦》叫屈的。大抵就像是北乔峰见到南慕容之后的那种不齿——将《源氏物语》与《红楼梦》相比拟，简直就是拉低《红楼梦》的格调。没错，《源氏物语》比红楼梦早了七百年，《源氏物语》对贵族生活的优雅细...
评分平安朝，一个风雅又雍容的时代。贵族男女无不醉心于风花雪月，习汉诗、赋和歌、弹琴筝，都成为女子必备的修养，以赢得主人公光源氏这般贵人的照拂，一人得宠，鸡犬升天。男子则忙于寻花问柳，既想求得出身高贵的女子做正夫人，借裙带关系便可平步青云；又想俘获风情万种的美人...
评分源氏和陈冠希 去年看过的最大部头的小说应是《源氏物语》，我对此书甚是入迷，本来想就此书写几句，但碍于琐事，终究没有写。正在我快要把这事忘却了的时候，却出了个陈冠希，让我想起了源氏。 二者最大的相同之处就是女朋友好又多，陈冠希的女友列表里，张柏芝，...
