Siamo nell'anno del Signore 1697. Di fronte abbiamo un campo di battaglia che è una biblioteca di grande prestigio nel Palazzo di St James, a Londra. I contendenti sono gli Autori Antichi e gli Autori Moderni. Si contendono la vetta del Parnaso che, per chi non lo sapesse, era il monte sede delle Muse ispiratrici di ogni opera. Abbiamo un reporter di eccezione: Jonathan Swift, il mio scrittore preferito. Il libro ha chiaramente un intento satirico. La guerra scoppiò. Omero contro Perrault,Un pequeño libro que permite entender la actitud esquizofrénica del humano, siempre buscando dicotomÃas... Aunque quizá sea inevitable que en filosofÃa exista la división entre Antiguos y Modernos (acá los posmodernos no existen), no hay mejor manera de entender la postura de cada bando que con peras y manzanas, o mucho mejor dicho: con abejas y arañas. Es por esto último que el libro termina siendo una fábula filosófica (histórica?) en donde los humanos no son los protagonistas sino su
Original fábula que, mediante un enfrentamiento militar entre libros de autores clásicos y de autores modernos, representa el enfrentamiento entre la ciencia e ilustración británica, unos defensores de la modernidad y la innovación, otros defensores de la tradición clásica. Libro atemporal, con un final abierto, recomendable para el admirador de Swift.
Swift writes a short satire about the constant battle between past and present. He paints a far less flattering picture of Renaissance/Enlightenment authors than of ancients, despite living in an age now viewed as a major turning point in Western thought. There are some colorful moments, but in the end I was grateful that he chose not to extend it into a longer form.
As it happens with Swift, I'm lying on the floor with tears of laughter streaming down my face. It's a very short book and ends very abruptly, though. Gah, I can't even spoil it :/I need to talk to someone who has read it!!!
I'm definitely not clever enough for this one.
Hay tanto juego en esas páginas, tanto rodeo, que uno se marea.
