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.

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,...
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...
