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
从来没有读过这样的书，读的时候也没有看任何介绍，只是尝试着看下去，谁知也停不下来。 从文字来看，形容角色俊丽的文字和来回书信的词句虽然可玩可赏，但总归单薄。故事涉及的方方面面也远远不及红楼梦丰满有深意。人物性格极为单一，仿佛无论王公大臣侍女平面看到面目俊俏的...
评分源氏物语是在08年留学时带来的，本想在飞机上无聊看看，结果一直没看，直到最近因一些喜爱的日本艺术品，打算还是了解一下日本的文学。对日本文学艺术了解不深，所以只谈谈个人感受。 虽然此书顶着种种大名，可是我不喜欢，越读越恶心。全书的基调是以男本位，女人充其量就是...

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...
评分文字历来有两种动人之处：一曰思想，一曰情致。年少的时候，凭空有许多闲情，都要装饰以最优美的文字表述出来，宛如在最雅致的信纸上写出最无聊的感情；长大以后，看出其间的庸俗与可笑，不愿为赋新词强说愁，也不愿委曲求全，似乎长了学问，精进了思想，却是江郎才尽，语不成...
