平家物语 (Stories of the Ping' s)

日本历史小说和军记物语问鼎之作；与《源氏物语》并称日本古典文学两大巅峰巨著；中文全足译本。《平家物语》是13世纪成型的日本长篇历史战争小说。在日本家喻户晓，与《源氏物语》并称为日本古典文学的两大巅峰巨著。主要叙述以平清盛为首的平氏家族的故事。前6卷描写了平氏家族的荣华鼎盛和骄奢霸道，后7卷着重描述了源平两大武士集团大战的经过，渲染了平氏家族终被消灭的悲惨结局。《平家物语》围绕平氏集团由盛至衰这一中心线索，艺术地再现了平安王朝末期旧的贵族阶级日趋没落，逐渐为新兴武士阶层所取代，而上升到政治舞台上的武士集团，由于被贵族同化，又被地方上拥有实力的武士集团所吞没的历史画卷。《平家物语》的艺术成就是塑造了王朝文学所不曾有过的披坚执锐、跃马横枪的英雄人物。这些形象的出现，标志着日本古典文学开创了新的与王朝文学迥然有异的传统，给后世文学带来了极为深远的影响。《平家物语》采用日文和汉文混用的形式，全书艺术结构宏大，文笔华美、意蕴深厚。不仅反映了日本中世纪的社会生活面貌和思想文化，而且也透视出与中国传统思想文化的密切联系。(It is the best work of historical novel and gunki monogatari in Japan.
