DescriptionVintage. 1st Vintage Bo. 1985. vg. Soft Cover. trans & abridged by Seidensticker. b/w ils; notation in pencil on first page ISBN:0394729218 . Book summaryTHE TALE OF GENJI, the world's first novel, was written around A.D. 1000 and has often been called Japan's greatest literary achievement. The author of this story of a Japanese prince and his many lovers was Shikibu Murasaki, the brilliant young governess to the Empress. The novel was read aloud at court and became wildly popular; its appeal has not abated in Japan, where it is still a good seller. Reminiscent of Jane Austen in its chronicling of the romantic trials of the young, it is also strongly feminist, and does not hesitate to protest the status of women at the time. |
