Adeus, Fuentes

Sylvia Colombo

Era uma manhã fria do outono mexicano de 2009. Em meio a agitada Feira do Livro de Guadalajara, o escritor Carlos Fuentes me recebeu para um papo e um café da manhã num hotel da cidade.

Alto, elegante, com um lenço no pescoço, Fuentes mostrava incrível vigor físico, aos 81 anos e logo cedo pela manhã. “Costumo viajar muito a festivais, mas só se posso garantir algumas horas todos os dias para escrever”, comentou. Naquele dia, tinha pulado da cama às 6h, trabalhado até às 9h, e estava ali pronto para o compromisso com a Folha.

O papo estendeu-se por horas, começando pelo romance que ele lançava ali, “Adán en Edén”, e abrangendo também o bicentenário das independências latino-americanas, que seriam celebradas no ano seguinte. O escritor tinha em Machado de Assis uma referência importante, ao lado do espanhol Miguel de Cervantes. Na ocasião, Fuentes se lamentava por ver seu país em má situação, pela economia e pela narcoviolência, e fez vários elogios ao modo como o Brasil vinha se destacando no cenário internacional.

No começo deste mês, Fuentes passou pela Feira do Livro de Buenos Aires, e deu diversas entrevistas e uma palestra que foi acompanhada por uma plateia lotada. Já não mostrava o vigor de um par de anos atrás, mas não se recusou a estar em nenhum compromisso.

Entre outras coisas, rendeu homenagens à Argentina, país em que viveu alguns anos com os pais, diplomatas. “Me sinto contente de estar de volta a Buenos Aires, cidade da minha juventude, dos meus amores e de minha vida.” Agora vemos que essa, mesmo que ele não soubesse, era uma despedida.

Fuentes morreu hoje, aos 83 anos, no hospital Ángeles del Pedregal, na Cidade do México. Um dos últimos remanescentes da geração do “boom” latino-americano, é autor de alguns clássicos da literatura latino-americana contemporânea, como “Aura” e “A Morte de Artemio Cruz”.

Apesar de conhece-lo de outras épocas, por conta de várias entrevistas feitas por telefone, aquela manhã em Guadalajara foi especial por vê-lo pela primeira vez ao vivo. Generoso, a primeira pergunta que me fez foi se meu livro sobre democracia na América Latina, para o qual ele tinha dado um depoimento, tinha saído. Abriu um grande sorriso quando disse que sim. “Livros precisam sair, as ideias precisam voar, isso é que é importante.”

  2. One other issue is that if you are in a problem where you will not have a co-signer then you may genuinely wish to try to exhaust all of your educational funding options. You can get many grants and other free college funding that will ensure that you get money to aid with school expenses. Thanks a lot for the post.Thanks for your post on the traveling industry. We would also like to include that if you are a senior considering traveling, its absolutely crucial that you buy traveling insurance for retirees. When traveling, retirees are at high risk of experiencing a health emergency. Obtaining right insurance cover package for one’s age group can protect your health and provide you with peace of mind.

  3. With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.

  4. Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

De kan smak stor, men sv?rt bearbeidet matvarer inneholde sv?rt lite n?ringsverdi, noe som gj?r deg ta inn mer bare for ? har nok motor for ? f? med dagen. Skulle du v?re stadig inntak disse matvarene, veksling til korn og andre komplekse karbohydrater vil la du har mer motor mens inntak mindre. Tusen takk:) for din blogginnlegg.

  20. Great blog post. What I would like to bring about is that laptop or computer memory has to be purchased but if your computer is unable to cope with that which you do along with it. One can add two RAM memory boards containing 1GB each, as an illustration, but not certainly one of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should look for the manufacturer’s documentation for the PC to be sure what type of ram it can take.

  21. Great post made here. One thing I would like to say is most professional career fields consider the Bachelor’s Degree as the entry level standard for an online diploma. Though Associate Qualifications are a great way to begin, completing the Bachelors opens many good opportunities to various careers, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Diploma Programs available coming from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another issue is that many brick and mortar institutions provide Online variations of their degree programs but typically for a greatly higher fee than the providers that specialize in online college diploma programs.

  30. Throughout this awesome scheme of things you’ll receive an A just for effort and hard work. Where you actually lost me ended up being on all the details. You know, it is said, the devil is in the details… And it could not be more true right here. Having said that, allow me reveal to you precisely what did deliver the results. The text is definitely rather engaging and that is probably why I am taking an effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, although I can notice the jumps in reasoning you make, I am not really sure of how you appear to unite the points which produce your final result. For right now I will, no doubt subscribe to your position however trust in the near future you actually link the facts better.Needed to write you a little observation in order to you have shared here. Also, I believe there are several factors which keep your motor insurance premium down. One is, to take into account buying autos that are in the good set of car insurance businesses. Cars that happen to be expensive will be more at risk of being snatched. Aside from that insurance is also using the value of your car or truck, so the higher priced it is, then higher a premium you make payment for.
