具体描述

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

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...  

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...  

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...  

平安朝，一个风雅又雍容的时代。贵族男女无不醉心于风花雪月，习汉诗、赋和歌、弹琴筝，都成为女子必备的修养，以赢得主人公光源氏这般贵人的照拂，一人得宠，鸡犬升天。男子则忙于寻花问柳，既想求得出身高贵的女子做正夫人，借裙带关系便可平步青云；又想俘获风情万种的美人...  

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...
