   Extractions: Widely acknowledged as the world's first novel, this astonishingly lovely book was written by a court lady in Heian Japan and offers a window into that formal, mannered world. Genji, a man of passionate impulses and a lover of beauty, is the favorite son of the Emperor, though his position at court is not entirely stable. He follows his wayward longings through moonlight-soaked gardens and jeweled pavilions, with mysterious women such as the Lady of the Orange Blossoms, the Akashi lady, and... If you are reading this it is probably because you have enjoyed Liza Dalby's "Tale of Murasaki" and are wondering if you can handle something of this size. Or perhaps you are already familiar with the scintillating Waley or Seidensticker translations (also worth acquiring and reading) and curious as to why Tyler has even bothered to produce another one. In fact, even in Japan there have been several recent attempts to render the obscure language of the Heian Court into modern Japanese. Junich...

   Extractions: Had she been a man, Lady Shikibu Murasaki would now be regularly studied in schools throughout the world. In Japan, she's known as the writer of what may be the single greatest work of Japanese literature ever, "The Tale of Genji." Yet around the rest of the world, while Coleridge and Chaucer are discussed at the dinner tables of literarily inclined grad students, Murasaki's name is still relatively unknown. Had she been born a boy, maybe things would be different. Maybe she would be hailed around the world as But she was a woman. As a result, she spent her entire life struggling against tradition. Stone by stone, she quietly worked little holes in the walls that society placed in front of her, and then slipped through. It wasn't proper for a girl to be smart, so Murasaki fought for every detail of her education. Her father refused to let her study formally, though he did eventually consent to let her look over her brother's books when he was done with them. Murasaki gained most of her education this way, learning far more than was traditionally acceptable. She learned at an early age to conceal her knowledge. In the second century Japan, it was considered unfeminine for a woman to know the things that Murasaki knew.

    Extractions: Masterpiece of Japanese literature written by Lady Murasaki Shikibu toward the beginning of the 11th century; it was originally published as Genji monogatari. It is one of the world's earliest and greatest novels. The Tale of Genji depicts a unique society of ultrarefined and elegant aristocrats whose indispensable accomplishments were skill in poetry, music, calligraphy, and courtship. Much of the book is concerned with the loves of Prince Genji and the different women in his life. The novel is permeated with a sensitivity to human emotions and the beauties of nature hardly paralleled elsewhere. The tone of the novel darkens as it progresses, indicating perhaps a deepening of Murasaki's Buddhist conviction of the vanity of the world. Some, however, believe that its last 14 chapters were written by another author. The translation (1925-33) of The Tale of Genji by Arthur Waley is a classic of English literature. A new translation by Edward G. Seidensticker was published in 1976.

    Extractions: Murasaki Shikibu Murasaki's date of birth is not precisely known, but likely to have been in the 970's. I have used the most widely accepted date of 973. A few events in her life are recorded historically: she accompanied her father to Echizen when he was made governor of that province in the summer of 996; and she and returned to the capital to marry Fujiwara Nobutaka in 998. Their daughter, Katako , was born in 999. It is not known, precisely, when she began writing the Tale of Genji —the standard story is that she began it after she was widowed. I think she must have begun earlier in her life, however, writing bits and pieces that later she may have swept into a more ambitious narrative. There is also argument as to exactly when she entered court service. I have constructed a plausible chronology based on the events mentioned in her Diary that would make that date the last day of the year 1005. The fragments of her Diary that have come down to us primarily cover the years 1008-1010 during her life in service to Empress Shôshi The date of Murasaki's death is unknown as well. Some scholars think she may have died in 1014, since that year

    Extractions: Other languages: Polski From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Murasaki Shikibu ? or d. ?) was a novelist poet , and servant of the imperial court during the Heian period of Japan . She is well known as the author of The Tale of Genji , written about year 1000 and one of the earliest novels in Japanese Lady Murasaki's mother died while she was a child, so Murasaki was raised, contrary to customs of the time, by her father, a scholar and officer of the imperial court. During Heian -era Japan, couples lived separately and children were raised by the mother and her family. Also contrary to customs of the time, her father gave her a male's education. Males were educated in and taught Chinese , the official language of the court, while females were taught kana and poetry . Her father praised her intelligence and ability, but lamented she was "born a woman". At the royal court, she was the lady in waiting for Empress Shoshi/Akiko,and may have been hired by Fujiwara Michinaga to serve the Empress. Three works are attributed to Murasaki, the most important being
