Synopsis "La Novela de Genji (I): Esplendor (in Spanish)"

Escrita por una mujer del refinado Japón imperial de la segunda mitad del siglo X, la novela es una obra magna fascinante, a la altura de Quijote, Guerra y paz o Hamlet.La historia de Genji se esparce por más de medio siglo, con infinidad de personajes y de aventuras, muchas galantes, en que el protagonista, hijo del emperador a quien han alejado del poder desde su infancia, pugna por recuperar sus derechos. Una vida de éxitos y fracasos, de maquinaciones de poder y de erotismo que llenan el clásico más notable de cuantos quedaban por traducir a nuestra lengua.

Although her immense talent was recognized in her time, very little is known about the writer's life. She may have been born in 975, she may have died in 1014. Not even her real name is known. It is known that she was the daughter of a scholar, though a poet without talent, passionate about literature, who taught his daughter the Chinese language and its classics, but also passed on to her the love for the literature of her ancestors.

They say her father regretted that such a smart girl had not been born a boy to continue the literary prestige of the family. However, he took his young daughter with him on a long journey through the Empire. It is known that at the age of twenty-nine, Murasaki lived at the Court as a lady-in-waiting to the intelligent Empress Akiko. Between the year 1008 and the year 1010 she wrote her diary, perhaps simultaneously to the composition of The Tale of Genji.
