• 内容紹介

  A page-turner by Japan's most popular writer of the immediate post-war era!
  
  Set in Japan's turbulent 12th century, this fast-paced novel recounts the titanic struggle between two leading Japanese clans--the Heike and the Genji--as they seek to pacify a fractured nation, ultimately turning on each other in their unbridled lust for power.
  
  Written by the great Eiji Yoshikawa, this classic work of fiction brings to life the wars, intrigues, feuds and romances surrounding the most dramatic episode in Japanese history.
  
  This new edition features a foreword and afterword by historian Alexander Bennett, who explains the backdrop of the novel and its importance as a towering work of modern fiction which sold millions of copies in Japan. Combining raw narrative power, pageantry and poetry, The Heike Story will enthrall readers interested in the drama and spectacle of ancient Japan.
  
  吉川英治の歴史小説『新・平家物語』の英訳書。戦後すぐの1950年から1957年にかけて執筆され、平家の栄華と滅亡までの激動の大戦乱と武士階級の台頭を描いた本書は、戦後の頽廃から復興へと動き始めた昭和中期の幅広い読者層の共感を呼び、「国民文学作家」として親しまれた吉川の代表作品となりました。多様な語りの手法と詩を組み合わせて語られる中世日本の壮大な叙事詩は、日本の歴史と文化を理解する上でも欠かすことの出来ない一冊と言えます。新版となる本書には、アレキサンダー・ベネットによる序文と解説が加わりました。
