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.

本人读书向来兴致所至,当年就为了一睹源氏之风华,买了套丰子恺译本的《源氏物语》。 还算认真的读了一下,感觉结构松散,翻译除了诗句之外,也很是单薄无味,甚是失望。昨天偶尔在豆瓣上看到一篇文章《怎样阅读源氏物语》,细细一看,发现《源氏物语》被称为奇书是名至...
评分 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...
评分六 条:(忽然跪下,紧紧抱住站立着的若林光的膝头,用面颊在上面蹭擦着)求求您,不要对我这样冷酷无情。 若林光:你这样低三下气,我还是头一次看到哩。(旁白)真奇怪啊。好像不是人在抱着我。 而且,腿脚也动不了了。 六 条:从一开始我就没有矜持过...
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...
