The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu




When Genji returns to the capital many years later, his son Fujitsubo is being crowned as emperor. One day, the community ejects him for moral corruption because of his flippant behavior towards women. The king dies, and another prince takes the throne. She bears him a son, but Genji is distracted from his family by Murasaki (the author). Genji is successful with the lady-folk, but his first wife will be Aoi, To no Chujo's sister. But, then as Genji ages, he become seriously handsome and talented, and he wins the approval of his community. Genji's eldest half brother is named the heir. Genji is reduced to a low caste after the death of his mother. She spends her last days in frivolous court cases, until finally she becomes ill and dies. Genji's future is foretold by a Korean sage in a prophecy heralding Genji's bright future, but his mother's fate turns for the worst. His mother is the king's favorite concubine.
