具体描述
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
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...

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...
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...
译文如同嚼过的馒头，同一个馒头不同人嚼有不同的味道。喜好哪一个是个很主观的选择，最好是用品酒的方法，对照地读上几句，然后看哪一个更合自己的心意： A: "人生到处即为家" B: "人生如寄" A: "这里的板垣旁边长着的蔓草，青葱可爱。草中开着许多百花，孤芳自赏地露出笑颜...
