In the early eleventh century Murasaki Shikibu, a lady in the Heian court of Japan, wrote what many consider to be the world’s first novel, more than three centuries before Chaucer. The Heian era (794—1185) is recognized as one of the very greatest periods in Japanese literature, and The Tale of Genji is not only the unquestioned prose masterpiece of that period but also the most lively and absorbing account we have of the intricate, exquisite, highly ordered court culture that made such a masterpiece possible.
Genji is the favorite son of the emperor but also a man of dangerously passionate impulses. In his highly refined world, where every dalliance is an act of political consequence, his shifting alliances and secret love affairs create great turmoil and very nearly destroy him.
Edward Seidensticker’s translation of Lady Murasaki’s splendid romance has been honored throughout the English-speaking world for its fluency, scholarly depth, and deep literary tact and sensitivity.
古扶桑国有天皇之子赐姓源氏者,容貌昳丽,风采照人,号“光华公子”。其母昔为天皇更衣,备极恩宠,及亡,上哀甚,视公子若珍宝,不忍小草之孤零,哪堪长风之侵扰。待公子渐长,使出为臣籍,结亲大臣,欲以己之力,厚公子之势,报弘徽之恨,成关白之业。 公子性风流,好渔色,...
评分摘自《南方周末》 作者:李 雾 本人自认对日本文学多少知道一点。从川端康成的《古都》、《雪国》到公部安房的《沙女》,从三岛由纪夫的《金阁寺》、《潮骚》到村上春树《挪威的森林》,也算读过几部日本小说。不过,也要到不久前读了《纽约时报》上的一篇游记之后,才...
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...
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...
