Description

«Fin dal 1759, quando Voltaire scrisse ‘Candide’ per ridicolizzare l’idea che questo sia il migliore dei mondi possibili, questo mondo è diventato un luogo più felice per i lettori. Voltaire lo scrisse in tre giorni, e cinque o sei generazioni hanno scoperto che il suo umorismo non invecchia. Candide non è invecchiato. Eppure, quanto sarebbe stato diverso il libro se Voltaire lo avesse scritto centocinquanta anni dopo il 1759. Sarebbe stato, tra le altre cose, un libro di viste e suoni. Uno scrittore moderno avrebbe cercato di catturare e fissare in parole alcuni di quei cambiamenti atlantici che rompevano la monotonia atlantica di quel viaggio da Cadice a Buenos Aires. Quando Martin e Candide navigavano lungo il Mediterraneo avremmo avuto un contrasto tra le nude scogliere delle Baleari e i promontori della Calabria nella loro nebbia. Avremmo avuto distanze intermedie, orizzonti lontani, le sagome mutevoli di un’isola ionica. Uccelli colorati avrebbero riempito il Paraguay con i loro richiami argentati o acidi. Il dottor Pangloss, per dimostrare l’esistenza di un disegno nell’universo, dice che i nasi sono fatti per portare gli occhiali, e quindi abbiamo gli occhiali. Un satirico moderno non cercherebbe di dipingere con il pennello rapido di Voltaire la dottrina che voleva smascherare. E sceglierebbe una dottrina più complicata dell’ottimismo di Pangloss, la studierebbe più attentamente, sentirebbe il suo modo distruttivo con una malizia più erudita e carezzevole. Il suo attacco, più furtivo, flessibile e paziente di quello di Voltaire, ci chiamerebbe, specialmente quando la sua erudizione sfuggisse un po’ al controllo, a essere più che pazienti. Di tanto in tanto ci annoierebbe. ‘Candide’ non ha mai annoiato nessuno tranne William Wordsworth. Gli uomini e le donne di Voltaire illustrano il suo caso contro l’ottimismo iniziando in alto e cadendo in basso. Un moderno non potrebbe affrontare la questione in questo modo. Non evergregated le sue persone in una miseria sconosciuta. Le terrebbe semplicemente nella miseria in cui sono nate. Ma una tale descrizione del procedimento di Voltaire è tanto fuorviante quanto il calco in gesso di una danza. Guardate di nuovo il suo procedimento. Mademoiselle Cunégonde, l’illustre vestfaliana, proveniente da una famiglia che poteva dimostrare settantuno quarti di nobiltà, scende e scende fino a quando la troviamo a guadagnarsi da vivere lavando i piatti nella Propontide. La fedele anziana assistente, vittima di cento stupri da parte di pirati neri, ricorda di essere la figlia di un papa e che in onore del suo imminente matrimonio con un principe di Massa-Carrara tutta l’Italia scrisse sonetti, nessuno dei quali passabile. Non abbiamo bisogno di conoscere la letteratura francese prima di Voltaire per sentire, anche se la parodia nascosta ci può sfuggire, che si sta prendendo gioco di noi e di se stesso. La sua risata sui suoi stessi metodi diventa più inconfondibile alla fine, quando li carica assemblando casualmente sei monarchi caduti in una locanda a Venezia.» Philip Littell, 1918 —- ISBN: 9798332691270
