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

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...  

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...  

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...

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...
