具体描述

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)

In the early eleventh century Murasaki Shikibu, a lady in the Heian court of Japan, wrote what many consider to be the world’s first novel, more than three centuries before Chaucer. The Heian era (794—1185) is recognized as one of the very greatest periods in Japanese literature, and The Tale of Genji is not only the unquestioned prose masterpiece of that period but also the most lively and absorbing account we have of the intricate, exquisite, highly ordered court culture that made such a masterpiece possible.

Genji is the favorite son of the emperor but also a man of dangerously passionate impulses. In his highly refined world, where every dalliance is an act of political consequence, his shifting alliances and secret love affairs create great turmoil and very nearly destroy him.

Edward Seidensticker’s translation of Lady Murasaki’s splendid romance has been honored throughout the English-speaking world for its fluency, scholarly depth, and deep literary tact and sensitivity.

读后感

说起来,源氏是非常舒适的枕边书.但也只能是枕边书.夜深人静时候闲闲看上一章.若是大白日里一章章通读下来,只怕好多人都会被那些琐碎重复的描写闷死的. 我这些天在想物语里那些母女两代承恩的故事.夕颜和玉鬘,六条和秋好.都是非常有意思的对比. 夕颜出场时已是一女之母,但却让...  

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...  

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...  

从来没有读过这样的书，读的时候也没有看任何介绍，只是尝试着看下去，谁知也停不下来。 从文字来看，形容角色俊丽的文字和来回书信的词句虽然可玩可赏，但总归单薄。故事涉及的方方面面也远远不及红楼梦丰满有深意。人物性格极为单一，仿佛无论王公大臣侍女平面看到面目俊俏的...  

历时将近半年终于把《源氏物语》看完了，也就是睡觉前的半个或一个小时看看，所以拖得的这么久。很久没有看专业外的书，上一本看得是哪一本，是昆德拉的《玩笑》还是《偷书贼》？记不得了。那也没写读后感很久了。 看《源氏物语》的前半段基本上没有什么印象。整天就是...
