Recently I got a copy of "Klassischjapanische Lektuere. Genji no Monogatari"
written by Rickmeyer-sensei (Jens Rickmeyer). 1991, Hamburg.
ISBN 3-87584-014-7

Rickmeyer-sensei takes 125 pages to explain the structure, syntax and
translation of the first 15 (!) pages (with the first 30 sentences) of
the GENJI.

This just as a warning to beginners. Better start reading manga...
