The Tale of Genji (Famous Translation Series)

Murasaki Shikibu, the author of "The Tale of Genji", was one of the thirty-six singing immortals in medieval Japan. She was a talented woman in the Heian period. She once served as a court lady. She studied Chinese poetry since she was a child, was familiar with Chinese classics, and was good at musical instruments and painting. "The Tale of Genji" is the world's earliest full-length novel. The West has Shakespeare, China has "A Dream of Red Mansions", and Japan has "The Tale of Genji", which is called a national treasure by the Japanese. This book is not only a story, but also the emotions of things, that is, the sorrow of things. Murasaki Shikibu: "Be afraid of women's jealousy, but whether they are depressed or jealous, these women are just poor people who cannot be loved. The culprit of all this is Genji. People will one day understand that only women are aggrieved." When you can't control your own destiny, you are not so happy.

"The Tale of Genji" is the first full-length novel in history. Although it describes a dissolute and romantic person who is loved everywhere by a noble because of the lack of maternal love, the oriental beauty and the beauty of the writing in the story are the biggest reasons for people to linger. However, the seemingly beautiful scenery has an undercurrent, "I am pregnant with someone, leaving him alone." The sorrow of things comes from it.

I've read this book three or four times. It's really good.
