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.

人生如行夢浮橋,顫顫巍巍恐失足 她是宇治十帖的女三號,八親王的私生女,從小在鄉下長大的內嚮女性。宇治十帖的女主人公們,大多平凡無奇,即使是宇治的大君和中君,雖然描寫的風華絕代,但是隻要一對比,論相貌她們必然不如紫之上,論纔情不如六條禦息所,論氣質...
評分源氏和陳冠希 去年看過的最大部頭的小說應是《源氏物語》,我對此書甚是入迷,本來想就此書寫幾句,但礙於瑣事,終究沒有寫。正在我快要把這事忘卻瞭的時候,卻齣瞭個陳冠希,讓我想起瞭源氏。 二者最大的相同之處就是女朋友好又多,陳冠希的女友列錶裏,張柏芝,...
評分文字曆來有兩種動人之處:一曰思想,一曰情緻。年少的時候,憑空有許多閑情,都要裝飾以最優美的文字錶述齣來,宛如在最雅緻的信紙上寫齣最無聊的感情;長大以後,看齣其間的庸俗與可笑,不願為賦新詞強說愁,也不願委麯求全,似乎長瞭學問,精進瞭思想,卻是江郎纔盡,語不成...
評分曆時將近半年終於把《源氏物語》看完瞭,也就是睡覺前的半個或一個小時看看,所以拖得的這麼久。很久沒有看專業外的書,上一本看得是哪一本,是昆德拉的《玩笑》還是《偷書賊》?記不得瞭。那也沒寫讀後感很久瞭。 看《源氏物語》的前半段基本上沒有什麼印象。整天就是...
評分一 有一種公認的說法,《源氏物語》是日本的《紅樓夢》。 我是要為《紅樓夢》叫屈的。大抵就像是北喬峰見到南慕容之後的那種不齒——將《源氏物語》與《紅樓夢》相比擬,簡直就是拉低《紅樓夢》的格調。沒錯,《源氏物語》比紅樓夢早瞭七百年,《源氏物語》對貴族生活的優雅細...
