"The Tale of Genji is an astonishingly nuanced portrait of an exquisitely refined society, where every dalliance is an act of political consequence. The illegitimate son of the Japanese emperor, Genji is renowned throughout the realm for his remarkable beauty, but his shifting alliances and numerous love affairs lead him into turmoil that threatens to destroy him. An absorbing and vivid account of the intricate, highly ordered court culture of ancient Japan, Shikibu's tale has been enthralling readers for over a thousand years." --Publisher's description
