The Tale of Genji – Murasaki Shikibu (Reduced Vision)

Can a sensitive soul find harmony in a world ruled by appearances?

Considered the first novel in the history of world literature, The Tale of Genji introduces us to the refined and melancholic life of the 11th-century Japanese imperial court. Through the experiences of Prince Genji, author Murasaki Shikibu weaves a tale of fleeting loves, court intrigues, and aesthetic quests, marked by emotional subtlety and the passage of time.
