Centuries before Shakespeare, Murasaki Shikibu's "The Tale of Genji" was already acknowledged as a classic of Japanese literature. Over the past century, this book has gained worldwide acceptance as not only the world's first novel, but as one of the greatest works of literature of all time. The hero of the tale, Prince Genji, is a shining example of the Heian-era ideal man--accomplished in poetry, dance, music, painting, and, not least of all to the novel's many plots, romance. "The Tale of Genji" and the characters and world it depicts have influenced Japanese culture to its very core. This celebrated translation by Arthur Waley gives Western readers a very genuine feel for the tone of this beloved classic. This edition contains the complete Waley translation of all six books of "The Tale of Genji" and also contains a new foreword by Dennis Washburn with key insights into both the book and the importance of this translation for modern readers.

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...  

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...  

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...  

趁1000年周年的东风，国内也跟着狠出了几套各种各样的源氏物语。我觉得非常遗憾，这又是一本不推荐大家买的书。上一本是http://www.douban.com/review/1563234/（不过这本是田边圣子女士的改写，其实不可通比，在此道歉） 可喜可贺的是这次作者终于是紫式...  

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...
