  • The 11th-century Japanese epic 'The Tale of Genji' has been described as the world's very first novel. The sprawling 54-chapter-long saga set in medieval Japan tells sweeping tales of imperial court rivalries, doomed love affairs and the Buddhist view of the afterlife. And now, an exhibition in New York is looking at the influence that this historical tome has had on the creative classes over the last millennia.

    The tale of Genji is complex and best presented in the luxurius French edition. Not even the Japanese could present their tale so wonderfully with the pictures made during the last 1000 years.

    Tale of genji is the most boring book of all time, bit like nihon shojiki.
