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.

评分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...
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...
