But taking on Japan's most renowned literary work is only one of the extraordinary challenges the professor has met in his career. Coming to Japan in 1990, after the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and his homeland of Czechoslovakia, Fiala, 61, began translating "The Tale of Genji" in 2000. He says he hopes readers will see the work not just as Prince Genji's story, but "one of many characters and destinies." <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/world/20080605TDY16003.htm " target="blank">www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/world/20080605TDY16003.htm </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
