The novel "Confusion" ("Torikaebaya monogatari") was written by an unknown author in the 12th century, at the end of the Heian period (9th-12th centuries). Japanese fiction of that time is represented by several genres, among which the monogatari genre is characterized by maximum freedom of the author's creative imagination. Heian literature was not interested in political twists and turns, it was focused on love and aesthetic experiences. The action of the novel takes place at the imperial court. The plot is the birth of a brother and sister who are as similar as two peas in a pod in a courtier's family. According to the laws of plotting, this entails a confusing story with disguises, role reversals, misrecognition, and absurd situations. The pages of the book contain a lot of poetry and music - obligatory elements of the life of the highest Heian society. This is a novel about compassion and cruelty, about devoted love and betrayal.
