The Tale of Genji, written by Japanese noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu in the 11th century, explores the romantic life of an emperor’s son as he moves through aristocratic society and beyond. Celebrated for its deep psychological insight and influence on Japanese culture, it is often regarded as the world’s first novel. A condensed English translation by Suematsu Kencho in 1882 helped introduce this timeless classic to a broader audience.
