书籍介绍

这是10和11世纪平安时代的散文代表作品，向我们展现了那时候日本的一个复杂的，精致的，高度秩序化的宫廷文化。

This is the prose masterpiece of the Heian era of the 10th and 11th centuries, which is recognized as a great period in Japanese literature. It is an account of the intricate, exquisite, highly ordered court culture which made such a masterpiece possible.

书中通过源氏一生政治上的浮沉及猎艳生活，展示了宫廷贵族错综复杂的权势争斗和贵族门弟间的聚散离合，描绘了宫廷贵族的紊乱男女关系，细致真实地刻画了上层贵族腐朽的精神面貌。其中通过描写主人公源氏的生活经历和爱情故事，反映了平安时代的文化生活和社会背景，在贯彻写实的“真实”美学思想的同时，也创造了日本式浪漫的“物哀”思想。

Through the ups and downs of Genji's political life, the book shows the intricate power struggles of the court aristocracy and the separation and reunion of their younger brothers, depicts the disordered relationship between men and women of the court aristocracy, and meticulously and truly depicts the decaying spiritual outlook of the upper aristocracy. By describing the life experience and love story of the protagonist Genji, it reflects the cultural life and social background of heian era, and at the same time implements the realistic aesthetic thought of "reality", it also creates the Japanese romantic thought of "sorrow for things".

编辑推荐

“泰勒的版本试图捕捉紫式部语言中社会和*治的细微差别，是学者们的*佳选择，而韦利的版本仍然是容易被普通读者接受的。阿瑟·韦利(Arthur Waley)翻译的《源氏物语》(The Tale of Genji)，以一种几乎不可思议的自然写就，让我们感兴趣的不是小说中的异国情调。我愿意向读过我书的人推荐这本书。”——《图书馆杂志》

"While Tyler's version, which attempts to capture the social and political nuance of Murasaki's language, is the best choice for scholars, Waley's remains the most attractive and accessible for the general reader. The Tale of Genji, as translated by Arthur Waley, is written with an almost miraculous naturalness, and what interests us is not the exoticism--the horrible word--but rather the human passions of the novel. Such interest is just: Murasaki's work is what one would quite precisely call a psychological novel. I dare to recommend this book to those who read me."— Library Journal

紫式部，日本平安时代女作家，中古三十六歌仙之一。本姓藤原，字不详，式部是她在宫廷服务期间的称呼，因其兄曾任式部丞，当时宫中女官多以父兄之官衔为名，故称为藤式部。后来她写成《源氏物语》，书中女主人公紫姬为世人传诵，遂又称作紫式部。一般认为其名不可考，亦有人认为其本名为藤原香子或藤原则子。
