Japanese noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu wrote The Tale of Genji in the 11th century to entertain the other women in the court. It follows the romantic exploits of the title character, an emperor’s son, as he navigates life within aristocratic society and eventually outside of it. Praised for its psychological insight into the characters’ motivations, the book greatly influenced Japanese culture and is widely considered the world’s first novel. In 1882, Suematsu Kencho translated a condensed version of the text into English, allowing this classic tale to reach a wider audience.

Det finns mycket att inhämta i denna bok att man skulle kunna skriva en hel bok som recension men det ska jag inte göra! 😊En informativ bok som ger stor inblick i kultur och politik. Så vackra beskrivningar att man drömmer sig bort. Ofta frustrerande på ett underhållande sätt pga motstridiga tankar om kultur, politik, estetik och etik. Definitivt en tankeväckande bok på många nivåer men även underhållande och njutningsfullt att bara lyssna på!
