Luis Antonio de Villena \u00e9s un dels poetes de la generaci\u00f3 dels nov\u00edsimos, \u00e9s a dir, la nova onada d\u2019escriptors m\u00e9s que disruptius dels finals dels seixanta i principis dels setanta del segle passat que combreguen amb la idea de la postmodernitat. Sens dubte, Luis Antonio de Villena representa el trencament amb els darrers fils d\u2019influ\u00e8ncia tem\u00e0tica del franquisme i l\u2019emmirallament de l\u2019Arc de Sant Mart\u00ed de la primera democr\u00e0cia. No entendr\u00edem la Movida madrile\u00f1a sense les aportacions estimulants i fr\u00edvoles, a la manera de Truman Capote, interpretades per la veu particular, definida per ell mateix, com a \u00abepicureisme homoer\u00f2tic\u00bb. Cal advertir que la frivolitat de Luis Antonio de Villena no \u00e9s buida de contingut, es fonamenta sobretot en els cl\u00e0ssics grecs i llatins que coneix per formaci\u00f3.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Llicenciat en Filologia Rom\u00e0nica, de lluny coneix i tracta amb passi\u00f3, gaireb\u00e9 com a contemporanis, els autors i les escoles que van marcar la tradici\u00f3 liter\u00e0ria grecollatina. Com el t\u00edtol del llibre avan\u00e7a, Luis Antonio de Villena ens ofereix un diccionari personal sobre grecs i llatins, i \u00e9s aix\u00f2 el que trobarem, amb un \u00e8mfasi poc dissimulat del terme \u00abpersonal\u00bb. Aquest diccionari o selecci\u00f3 alfab\u00e8tica dels autors i escoles que han marcat d\u2019alguna manera l\u2019autor, explica a cada entrada els motius que els lectors hem de con\u00e8ixer. La informaci\u00f3 de cada entrada, en un to col\u00b7loquial, mostra aquells elements biogr\u00e0fics o curiosos amb alguna an\u00e8cdota, si s\u2019escau sucosa, que ajuden a l\u2019amenitat de la lectura. Ho observem a l\u2019entrada de \u00abJenofonte\u00bb: \u00abAunque se cas\u00f3 y tuvo hijos (uno llevaba el nombre de su abuelo paterno, Grilos) parece que en su juventud no desconoci\u00f3 el amor de los camaradas, tan cercano al c\u00edrculo de S\u00f3crates\u00bb.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

La pr\u00e8via de fer accessible el cat\u00e0leg de noms escollits per l\u2019autor referma la idea de modernitat que s\u2019amaga en l\u2019anomenat m\u00f3n cl\u00e0ssic. Aix\u00ed, trobem des dels autors can\u00f2nics de la literatura i pensament grecorom\u00e0 (\u00abHomero\u00bb, \u00abSafo\u00bb, \u00abEsquilo\u00bb, \u00abS\u00f3crates\u00bb, \u00abJenofonte\u00bb, \u00abCatulo\u00bb, \u00abLucrecio\u00bb, \u00abVirgilio\u00bb, \u00abOvidio\u00bb) a figures que representen icones o goso dir \u00abinfluencers\u00bb destacats, com \u00abNer\u00f3n\u00bb, \u00abHeliog\u00e1balo\u00bb o \u00abAlejandro Magno\u00bb. En aquest darrer: \u00abAlejandro (te\u00f3ricamente bisexual) tuvo varias mujeres de los pa\u00edses que domin\u00f3, adem\u00e1s de la nombrada, Barsine, persa, est\u00e1 Roxana, hija de un bar\u00f3n sogdiano, y que parece no fue un matrimonio de conveniencia\u00bb. Tamb\u00e9 trobem conceptes o escoles: \u00abBi\u00f3grafos o historiadores latinos\u00bb, \u00abGrafitos pompeyanos\u00bb, \u00abHomosexualidad griega\u00bb, \u00abLos oradores\u00bb, \u00abPresocr\u00e1ticos\u00bb. D\u2019aquesta darrera entrada: \u00abY finalmente (y he tomado ejemplos a vuelapluma): \u201cLa naturaleza aprecia el ocultarse\u201d. Hay en Her\u00e1clito \u2012por ello lo estimo m\u00e1s\u2012 un vaho de misterio irresoluto y a la par de \u00edntima claridad escondida. Sabe que saber es metaf\u00f3rico\u00bb. Aquestes entrades m\u00e9s gen\u00e8riques serveixen per oferir m\u00e9s elements informatius al lector sobre les entranyes del pensament i costums dels antics. Luis Antonio de Villena mostra una flaca per les \u00e8poques anomenades decadents i concretament, l\u2019hel\u00b7lenisme, la caiguda de l\u2019Imperi Rom\u00e0. En tot moment, l\u2019autor busca la complicitat lectora i trencar amb la in\u00e8rcia de la recepci\u00f3 dels cl\u00e0ssics amb la severitat d\u2019aquell esfor\u00e7 tit\u00e0nic que representa per a la nostra imaginaci\u00f3 la dist\u00e0ncia temporal i en bona part la transmissi\u00f3 acad\u00e8mica que ha provocat, desafortunadament, moltes desercions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Biblioteca de cl\u00e1sicos para uso de modernos<\/span><\/i> \u00e9s una bona manera d\u2019entrar a con\u00e8ixer de qu\u00e8 va el m\u00f3n cl\u00e0ssic i qu\u00e8 en queda de la seva her\u00e8ncia. Alguns sorprenents com \u00abNono de Pan\u00f3polis\u00bb, de l\u2019\u00e8poca tardoromana, iconoclasta autor d\u2019una extensa obra, una par\u00e0frasi de l\u2019Evangeli segons Sant Joan, com, al mateix temps, les Dionis\u00edaques,<\/i> que narren la vida i miracles del d\u00e9u grec, possiblement la darrera gran obra cl\u00e0ssica. Abstingueu-vos els iniciats, que potser voleu anar m\u00e9s al detall. Per exemple, a l\u2019entrada de \u00abLuciano de Sam\u00f3sata\u00bb passa de puntetes per una de les obres importants: Hist\u00f2ria vertadera,<\/i> tota una fita, en forma de s\u00e0tira, de les obres de ficci\u00f3 de fantasia, la primera obra narrativa de ci\u00e8ncia-ficci\u00f3, influ\u00e8ncia d\u2019un dels \u00e0lbums de c\u00f2mic m\u00e9s importants del segle XX: Flash Gordon.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hem d\u2019entendre, per\u00f2, que \u00e9s un rep\u00e0s personal i ampli per una cultura rica i ambivalent que l\u2019autor coneix molt b\u00e9. I sobretot d\u2019aquests elements culturals amagats i oblidats per una cultura posterior cristiana intransigent amb el que es considera el m\u00f3n pag\u00e0, una repressi\u00f3 no prou efectiva perqu\u00e8, de tant en tant, aparegui a la superf\u00edcie all\u00f2 que ocult sempre ha estat al subconscient de la nostra cultura, de Safo a Miquel \u00c0ngel, de Marcial a Andy Warhol. I com sempre que prenem un llibre de Luis Antonio de Villena, nom\u00e9s hi ha una cosa prohibida, i \u00e9s avorrir.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
