The Tale of Genji (set of 3 Volumes)
General Fiction源氏物语（套装共3册）
(japanese) Murasaki Shikibu
"The Tale of Genji" is set in the heyday of the Heian Dynasty in Japan and describes the life experience and love story of the protagonist Genji. The book has a total of fifty-four chapters and involves more than 400 characters, among whom there are 20 or 30 memorable ones. The characters are mainly upper-class nobles, but there are also middle- and lower-class nobles, palace maids, maids and common people. The book uses several major events as the key and turning point in the development of the story, and methodically passes through various small events to integrate the development and climax of the story with each other, gradually revealing the inside story of aristocratic social life. "The Tale of Genji" reflects the cultural life and social background of the Heian period. While implementing the realistic "real" aesthetic idea, it also created the Japanese romantic idea of "mono-sorrow".
