The world’s first novel ends mid-sentence

[Ezalor]

The Tale of Genji, written by Murasaki Shikibu in the 11th century, is considered the world’s first novel. After reading 54 intricately crafted chapters, the reader is stopped abruptly mid-sentence. One translator believes the work is complete as is, but another says we’re missing a few more pages of the story.

Hmm, I wonder which is which. Is the novel really finished, or there are more chapters we haven't read yet? Well, anyway, I've read the novel, and it's good. I highly recommend it!
