The Tale of the House of Taira from the 13th century is one of the most significant works of classical Japanese literature, standing on a par with such masterpieces of world literature as The Tale of Igor's Campaign, The Song of the Nibellungs and The Song of Roland.

This is not just a story about the events of the 12th century in the popular genre of "gunki", glorifying samurai honor. This is a description of the civil war between the Taira and Minamoto clans without the slightest sympathy for either side, philosophical reasoning about the frailty of life, the inevitability of change and Buddhist ideas about impermanence and karma. "The Tale of the House of Taira" immerses the reader in a world of battles, political intrigue and family tragedies, telling the fate of outstanding Japanese warriors. This monumental text, full of whimsical verses, allows you to get to know Japanese culture and traditions better.
