Grammaire du japonais classique

Grammar of Classical Japanese enables both amateurs and learners of Japanese to understand and dissect the language and writing of the golden age of Japanese literature, the Heian period (9th-12th centuries).

It is a veritable gateway to mythical texts, often written by women, such as the famous Tale of Genji (Genji monogatari) or the Taketori.

Written by Catherine Garnier, a leading specialist in Japanese and the author of numerous books published by Assimil, this is a must-have for all students of the language.

• A reference for Classical Japanese
• Examples drawn from classical literature
• A coherent description of the language
