Com ja \u00e9s habitual en l\u2019editorial Blackie Books, l\u2019aventura de presentar textos originals, agosarats i fora de les modes majorit\u00e0ries, tot i que aquesta editorial ja fa temps que est\u00e0 marcant nous camins, ens sorpr\u00e8n un cop m\u00e9s. Aquest text que ressenyem \u00e9s curt, per\u00f2 amb un plantejament potencialment de llarg abast i que et deixa aquella sensaci\u00f3 que donaria per molt m\u00e9s, no nom\u00e9s a l\u2019hora de presentar-nos un c\u00e0non molt m\u00e9s complet, sin\u00f3 amb la manera tan original de fer-ho, que permetria fer un recorregut infinit de llibre en llibre, d\u2019autor en autor o de protagonista en protagonista.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Per\u00f2, com ja he dit, no es tracta nom\u00e9s d\u2019un c\u00e0non, sin\u00f3 d\u2019una manera d\u2019afrontar el fenomen de la lectura, com explicita el seu t\u00edtol mateix, la seva relaci\u00f3 amb la vida i les seves conseq\u00fc\u00e8ncies:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abNosaltres, personatges ficticis de la vida real, no tenim manera d\u2019alterar el passat\u00bb diu Elias a Rask\u00f2lnikov al final de la novel\u00b7la.<\/span><\/p>\n

Per\u00f2 centrem-nos en l\u2019itinerari concret que ens explica l\u2019Elias Bonfim, el fill d\u2019en Vivaldo, a partir del que s\u2019assabent\u00e0 el dia que va fer 12 anys. El seu pare no va morir d\u2019un infart, com ell creia, sin\u00f3 que va desapar\u00e8ixer mentre llegia entre les p\u00e0gines de L\u2019illa del doctor Moreau<\/em> de H.G. Wells. A trav\u00e9s de les notes escrites a llapis als marges del llibre pel pare recorrerem llocs reals o ficticis a la cerca del Dr. Zirkov de Londres que ens donar\u00e0 la pista del n\u00e0ufrag del vaixell Lady Vain, Edward Prendick l\u2019home-gos (que anomenen Argos, com el gos d\u2019Ulisses).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abUna biblioteca \u00e9s un laberint\u00bb, J.L. Borges<\/span><\/p>\n

L\u2019acc\u00e9s a la biblioteca de les golfes oferir\u00e0 a l\u2019Elias m\u00faltiples lectures que l\u2019ajudaran a seguir el cam\u00ed del pare perdut i a adquirir el do de la ubiq\u00fcitat, o alguna cosa semblant. Mentre anava a escola, ell mateix llegia a la biblioteca de les golfes de casa: \u00abUn cop el meu cos va haver fet acte de pres\u00e8ncia a les classes, es va reunir amb el meu esperit al capvespre\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tamb\u00e9 viatjava des de Londres fins a Vladivostok, passant per L\u2019illa del tresor<\/em>, La divina com\u00e8dia<\/em> (la seva noia ideal es diu Beatriu), per La rebel\u00b7li\u00f3 dels animals<\/em>, pel cam\u00ed del Tao<\/em>, fins que de resquitllada de La mare<\/em> de Gorki es troba amb Crim i c\u00e0stig<\/em> entre les p\u00e0gines del qual apareix un mapa que el dur\u00e0 fins a Vladivostok en cerca de Rask\u00f2lnikov. Mentre llegeix Fahrenheit 451<\/em> i el Sr.-gos Prendick ca\u00e7ava pel bosc, l\u2019hi troba en una cabana on el di\u00e0leg sobre la culpa, el remordiment i la possibilitat de canviar el passat \u00e9s d\u2019all\u00f2 m\u00e9s bo. Rask\u00f2lnikov explica el seu propi viatge a Londres per trobar el Dr. Jekyll buscant la poci\u00f3 per matar remordiments o, si m\u00e9s no, per esdevenir animal, just el contrari del que feia el Dr. Moreau.<\/span><\/p>\n

Per\u00f2 no es tanca cap cercle, queden interrogants, detalls; per qu\u00e8 totes les cadires que va trobant s\u00f3n de ratlles? Per qu\u00e8 el seu amic Bombo mor d\u2019un coma diab\u00e8tic? Per qu\u00e8 Rask\u00f2lnikov ens recomana la lectura de Planil\u00e0ndia <\/em>d\u2019Edwin Abbot Abbot i tamb\u00e9 ens explica la par\u00e0bola de l\u2019elefant i els cecs?<\/span><\/p>\n

Quan el narrador acaba l\u2019escrit t\u00e9 72 anys, no farem spoiler<\/em> del final, per\u00f2 escriu una cosa que t\u00e9 a veure amb la frase final de Joc de trons<\/em>: \u00abNo hi ha res m\u00e9s poder\u00f3s que una bona hist\u00f2ria\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n
