Literatura e contradições de Cartagena
A última vez em que estive aqui em Cartagena foi durante a rodagem desse filme, em 2007. “Amor nos Tempos do Cólera”, um clássico do colombiano Gabriel García Márquez, foi levado às telas pelo diretor Mike Newell (“Quatro Casamentos e um Funeral”), com Javier Bardem, Giovanna Mezzogiorno e Fernanda Montenegro no elenco.
A cidade costeira não mudou muito. Cartagena possui uma mágica, uma grandiosidade, que a acompanham desde sua longínqua fundação, ainda no comecinho da colonização espanhola, em 1533. O calor caribenho, os prédios coloniais, a música que soa alto nas lojas e as casas de portas constantemente abertas fazem lembrar nossa Salvador. A capital baiana, porém, surgiu um pouco depois, em 1549.
Cartagena foi um dos portos mais importantes da América e resistiu a ataques de piratas e invasores ingleses, franceses e holandeses, fechando-se dentro de impressionantes muros que seguem de pé. A cidade é também um dos cenários mais famosos da obra de Gabo. E quem leu seus livros não tem como não relacionar as construções e os tipos que vemos nas ruas com os cenários e personagens de suas obras.
Em Cartagena, Gabo passou pouco tempo. Chegou como um estudante, em 1948, que deixara Bogotá depois do “Bogotazo” _período de violentos protestos que ocorreram após o assassinato do líder popular Jorge Eliecér Gaitán. Na cidade costeira, Gabo recuperou a tranquilidade perdida na capital e começou a publicar contos e crônicas num jornal.
As ruas e cantos da cidade ficaram na imaginação do escritor, e ele os transplantou aos romances. A boa notícia é que seguem praticamente intactos. É o caso da praça Fernández de Madrid, onde passa parte da ação do romance mencionado. Ontem, ela estava tomada por senhores que descansavam no fim da tarde abafada e olhavam com condescendência os turistas europeus que desdobravam mapas para entender onde estavam. As calçadas do centro continuam sendo o mercado informal aberto de doces e frutas coloridas que foi cenário de encontros entre Florentino Ariza e Fermina Daza, os protagonistas de “Amor nos Tempos do Cólera”.
Poderíamos pensar que o tempo não passou, até que observamos os ruidosos vendedores de chamadas de celular _isso mesmo, sujeitos que alugam aparelhos para ligações avulsas_ que se multiplicam a cada esquina e são avidamente disputados.
Também segue intocada a plaza Bolívar, outro cenário frequente das histórias do autor. Já o Santa Clara, que foi convento e hospital e inspirou “Do Amor e Outros Dêmonios” é hoje um sofisticado hotel da rede Sofitel.
Cartagena oferece ao visitante a opção de imaginar de forma viva diversos tempos de sua história. Se não é o fim do século 19 e começo do 20 da novela de García Márquez, são os tempos coloniais, que permanecem em tantos detalhes, da arquitetura aos charmosos nomes das ruas: “calle Estanco del Tabaco”, “calle la Cochera del Gobernador”, “calle la Reculada del Ovejo”.
Ontem, flagrei um jovem guia mirim local contando, em inglês e para um público de viajantes nórdicos, o episódio do cerco dos ingleses de 1741. Nessa ocasião, as forças espanholas de defesa da cidade resistiram e expulsaram os britânicos, numa ação violenta que resultou em mais de oito mil mortos.
Sem muita pausa, o menino prosseguiu para contar, com ar muito orgulhoso, que Cartagena também tinha sido um dos primeiros territórios da América a declarar independência da Espanha, já em 1811. A cidade cairia de novo nas mãos dos ex-colonizadores, só se libertando definitivamente em 1821. Mesmo assim, o garoto não deixava por menos: “Cartagena deu um exemplo para o resto da Colômbia, que nunca tinha dado muita bola para nós que somos da costa”.
A cidade amuralhada, porém, guarda suas contradições. Durante o dia vemos vendedores barulhentos, gente simples caminhando apressada para o trabalho e alguns mendigos, reflexo da pobreza de um centro populoso, com mais de 1 milhão de habitantes. Já à noite, quando essa população se retira para os bairros mais afastados, onde vive, se percebe quem são os verdadeiros donos dos casarões. Estrangeiros, gente de dinheiro, que parecem ter substituído muitos dos habitantes tradicionais. Saem às varandas e ocupam restaurantes e galerias chiques.
Muitos casarões são hoje praticamente só fachadas e basta uma olhadela pelo vidro, do lado de fora, para notar. Os ambientes internos estão totalmente reformados, com piscinas, saunas e toda uma reformulação da arquitetura original interna. Para não falar nos hotéis-boutique, que se multiplicam rapidamente pela cidade. Pode-se criticar essa “limpeza” e modernização do casario, como o próprio Gabo já o fez. Mas é fato também que a cidade parece mais limpa e as fachadas estão bem cuidadas, por conta da natureza dessa ocupação.
É difícil não ser nostálgico ao visitar Cartagena, uma cidade que é história em estado puro. Mas seus problemas urbanísticos atuais são graves e permitem pensar nas contradições de muitas cidades latino-americanas.

You ought to be a part of a contest for one of the most useful websites on the net. I am going to highly recommend this website!
Thanks for your post. Another issue is that being photographer will involve not only problems in capturing award-winning photographs but in addition hardships in getting the best digicam suited to your needs and most especially struggles in maintaining the caliber of your camera. This can be very correct and noticeable for those professional photographers that are in to capturing the particular nature’s interesting scenes – the mountains, the forests, the wild and the seas. Going to these adventurous places definitely requires a camera that can live up to the wild’s unpleasant conditions.
I was just looking for this info for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your web site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this type of informative websites in top of the list. Generally the top websites are full of garbage.

I have noticed that fixing credit activity has to be conducted with techniques. If not, you are going to find yourself damaging your position. In order to realize your aspirations in fixing to your credit rating you have to ensure that from this time you pay your complete monthly fees promptly in advance of their appointed date. It is definitely significant since by definitely not accomplishing this, all other steps that you will choose to adopt to improve your credit ranking will not be powerful.

With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off? I’d truly appreciate it.
Hi my family member! I wish to say that this article is awesome, great written and include approximately all important infos. I¡¦d like to peer extra posts like this .
Hi, Neat post. There is a problem with your web site in internet explorer, would check this… IE still is the market leader and a big portion of people will miss your wonderful writing because of this problem.
Enjoyed studying this, very good stuff, regards . “It is in justice that the ordering of society is centered.” by Aristotle.
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I do not know who you are but definitely you are going to a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!
Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I to find this topic to be really one thing which I feel I would by no means understand. It kind of feels too complex and very wide for me. I am looking forward to your subsequent post, I will attempt to get the dangle of it!
I wish my personal mothers and fathers experienced these records when I ended up being minor. Specially my dad that insisted i has not been shy, as if simply by refusal he or she could change it out. We have never ever minded the particular label of bashful. My partner and i even now say that I’m self conscious, I’m slow in order to heat up to the people, significant groups cause me to feel anxious and I’m horrible from starting interactions. But many wouldn’t understand it because I’ve realized ways to bypass these concerns.
