Marieta Rdoi Mihi face parte din acea restrns categorie de poei a cror creaie este lipsit de metafora spectaculoas (glgioas!), beneficiind ns de taina cuvintelor, dnd alturrii acestora acea imprevizibilitate, venind parc dinspre Mallarmé sau, i mai aproape de noi, de la Ion Barbu, acest farmec al imprecisului care asigur autoarei o indiscutabil originalitate i esenializare a acestei poetici.“ – Radu Crneci

Cartea v? propune spre lectur? o sum? de eseuri inedite, inspirate de la chestiuni cvasi-cotidiene sau rezultate din c?ut?ri la care ne ducem mai rar cu gândul. În plus, atât pentru condimentarea experien?ei de lectur?, cât mai ales pentru democratizarea conceptului de antropologie (în jurul c?ruia graviteaz? prozele din cuprins), seria de eseuri – fuzionând idei de psihologie, sociologie ori de filosofie – este punctat? (ini?ial, median ?i final) cu câte o proz? fic?ional? din seria interpret?rilor speculativ-antropologice de mituri ?i legende populare (aici fiind vizate baladele "Monastirea Arge?ului" ?i "Miori?a"), serie de autor început? odat? cu cartea "Întoarcerea fratelui risipitor" (Editura Europress, Bucure?ti, 2014). Volumul de fa?? aduce cititorului un amalgam de provoc?ri pentru minte ?i pentru inim?, într-un melanj pastelat, sus?inut pe tot parcursul de împletitura a trei filoane esen?iale: auto-ironie, umilin?? ?i duio?ie. De altfel, ideea de smerenie – atât cea subiectiv? cât ?i cea extins? la întreaga specie – constituie aici o reiterare definitorie. Parcurgerea c?r?ii se poate dovedi o experien?? deosebit? atât pentru cititorul pasionat de beletristic? cât ?i pentru cel atras de eseistica de idei. Profunzimile ?i perspectivele vor surprinde adesea.

Tenta?ia magnific?rii excesive a valorilor autohtone compor?t? nu pu?ine primejdii. Pe cele, mai ales, de a suscita acuza?ii de ?protocronism“, de etnocentrism, de ?localit?“, de p??unism sau ?esprit de clocher“, de ignorare a tabloului mondial al evolu?iilor ?n domeniul vizat, acuza?ii care, e adev?rat, pot fi drepte sau ne?drepte: criteriul r?m?ne legat de o chestiune de relativizare ?i de dozaj, deci de proced?ri ?nzestrate prin excelen?? cu o foarte firav? voca?ie consensual?. Am mai evocat, cu alt prilej – vorbind despre romanele lui D. ?epeneag, pe care nu le socoteam inferioare celor ale nobelizatului Claude Simon – de riscul reedit?rii sindromului ?Notre grand Arghiropoulos“, ironizat (cu simpatie, totu?i!) de E. Lovinescu ?n Aquaforte. Tot c?ut?nd, ?ns?, s? evit?m acest risc, ajungem s? ne expunem altuia: cel de a subaprecia, ?n pofida evi?den?ei, un num?r, deloc mic, de valori certe ale literaturii noastre postbelice.

Tot ce urmeaz? s? sus?in ?n acest eseu nu poate fi de?monstrat cu precizie. ?ntr?un fel, nu fac altceva dec?t s? m? sabotez singur: sunt critic ?i istoric literar, profesor de lite?ratur? la Facultatea de Litere. Am, cum se spune, o ?cari?er? ?tiin?ific?“. Or, tot ce v? voi povesti ?n cele ce urmeaz? se a?az? contra tradi?iei, care la noi porne?te de la Mihail Dragomirescu, a ??tiin?ei literaturii“. C?linescu ironiza de fi?ecare dat? preten?iile pozitiviste ale unor cercet?tori care au impresia c? pot extrage, eventual cu cianuri, ca pe un mine?reu aurifer, adev?rul din textul literar. Literatura nu se las? disecat? cu instrumente ?tiin?ifice. C? analiza, interpreta?rea, hermeneutica literar? folosesc metode riguroase, fac uz sau caz de erudi?ie, e o alt? poveste. Dar nici o interpretare nu va ajunge la Adev?r. Pentru c? ?adev?rul“ literaturii nu e unul singur, ci o sum? de multe adev?ruri. Fiecare dintre ele depinz?nd de cititor, de inteligen?a lui, de cultura lui ?i, nu ?n ultimul and, de sensibilitatea lui. Bogdan Cre?u

Atunci c?nd Iisus le spune ucenicilor, ?n Evanghelia dup? Matei, 5:14, enun??nd ?fericirile“ (?n Cuv?ntarea de pe munte) c? ?voi sunte?i lumina lumii. O cetate situat? pe un munte nu poate s? r?m?n? ascuns?“, accep?iunea e strict metaforic?, la fel cum se ?nt?mpl? ?i ?n foarte cunoscuta scen? a Schimb?rii la fa??, tot ?n Mat. 17:2, unde se spune c? ?El s-a schimbat la fa?? ?naintea lor; fa?a lui a str?lucit ca Soarele ?i hainele i s-au f?cut albe ca lumina“. ?n Evanghelia dup? Marcu, mai aspr? ?i – dup? cum ?tim – mai veche dec?t aceea a lui Matei, lumina are, de asemenea, o accep?iune metaforic?, fiind asociat? cunoa?terii ezoterice pe care, prin credin??, o vor dob?ndi cre?tinii, spre deosebire de celelalte neamuri, c?rora le este rezervat? doar o cunoa?tere exoteric?. ?tefan Borbély

Halucina?ii, semne ?i prevestiri, psihoze, scindare ?i panic?, abandon, decrepitudine, demen?? entropic?, suicid – iat? tot at?tea nume ale ?v?milor depresiunii”, ?n care sufletul nostru intrasecular se zbate, crucificat ?i, totu?i, cu speran?a m?ntuirii. Este tabloul crizei omului, profetizate de vizionari ai veacului al XIX-lea – Dostoevski, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Kafka – oferit acum ?n versiune milenarist? de naratori rom?ni precum Nicolae Breban, Augustin Buzura, Florin ?lapac, Radu Aldulescu, Dumitru ?epeneag, Marius Tupan.

According to Wikipedia: "Thomas Telford (1757–1834) was a Scottish civil engineer, architect and stonemason, and a noted road, bridge and canal builder. After establishing himself as an engineer of road and canal projects in Shropshire, he designed numerous infrastructure projects in his native Scotland, as well as harbours and tunnels. Such was his reputation as a prolific designer of highways and related bridges, he was dubbed The Colossus of Roads, and, reflecting his command of all types of civil engineering in the early 19th century, he was elected as the first President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, a post he retained for 14 years until his death.... Samuel Smiles (23 December 1812 – 16 April 1904), was a Scottish author and reformer. ... Smiles is best known today as the writer of books extolling virtues of self help, and biographies lauding the achievements of "heroic" engineers."

This edition retains the original idiosyncratic spelling and punctuation. " "These Journals are from May 14, 1804, the day the expedition left the Mississippi River, to September 26, 1806, a day or two after they arrived back in St. Louis. It includes all possible Journal entries of Lewis and Clark. Most of the "courses and distances" and "celestial observations" have been omitted. The notes and most of the corrections of past editors have been removed." According to Wikipedia: "The Lewis and Clark Expedition (1803–1806), headed by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, was the first American overland expedition to the Pacific coast and back."

According to Wikipedia: "Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885) was a French poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights activist and exponent of the Romantic movement in France. In France, Hugo's literary fame comes first from his poetry but also rests upon his novels and his dramatic achievements. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem, and Hugo is sometimes identified as the greatest French poet. Outside France, his best-known works are the novels Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris (known in English also as The Hunchback of Notre Dame). Though a committed conservative royalist when he was young, Hugo grew more liberal as the decades passed; he became a passionate supporter of republicanism, and his work touches upon most of the political and social issues and artistic trends of his time. He is buried in the Panthéon."

According to Wikipedia: "James Boswell, 9th Laird of Auchinleck (October 29, 1740 – May 19, 1795) was a lawyer, diarist, and author born in Edinburgh, Scotland; he is best known for his biography of Samuel Johnson. His name has passed into the English language as a term (Boswell, Boswellian, Boswellism) for a constant companion and observer. Boswell is also known for the detailed and frank journals that he wrote for long periods of his life, which remained undiscovered until the 1920s. These included voluminous notes on the grand tour of Europe that he took as a young man and, subsequently, of his tour of Scotland with Johnson. His journals also record meetings and conversations with eminent individuals belonging to The Club, including Lord Monboddo, David Garrick, Edmund Burke, Reynolds and Oliver Goldsmith. His written works focus chiefly on others, but he was admitted as a good companion and accomplished conversationalist in his own right."

According to Wikipedia: "John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806 – 8 May 1873), English philosopher, political theorist, political economist, civil servant and Member of Parliament, was an influential British Classical liberal thinker of the 19th century whose works on liberty justified freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state control. He was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by Jeremy Bentham, although his conception of it was very different from Bentham's. Hoping to remedy the problems found in an inductive approach to science, such as confirmation bias, he clearly set forth the premises of falsification as the key component in the scientific method."
