"Textul lui Mateiu Caragiale e scris pentru acele momente din viata fiecarui om, în care trecutul e mai important decât actualitatea, voluptatea mai importanta decât adevarul, miresmele închipuite sau visate - mai importante decât realul. E o apoteoza a placerii, cu extazele si abisurile ei pline de primejdii.Am citit acest text pentru a ma bucura, crepuscular, de farmecul irezistibil al lucrurilor care nu exista." Andrei Plesu

Ce inseamna, de fapt, "Comedii la portile Orientului"? Inseamna mai multe: umor tonic, haz vehement, ochi critic fixat asupra subrezeniilor indigene, verva cotropitoare, limbaj luxuriant si un farmec al rostirii care nu se obtine din dictionare si compendii. Aveti de-a face, asadar, cu un audiobook de gala. Rostul lui e sa ne binedispuna si sa ne reconecteze la literatura pura. Caci dincolo de eventuala lor miza pedagogic-moralizatoare, Comediile asta sunt: bucati sau mai degraba bucate literare, din care nu lipseste nici o mirodenie si care alcatuiesc un ospat de neuitat.

"Daca îti acorzi un cât de mic ragaz, daca arunci, de jur împrejur, o privire odihnita, curioasa si nepatimasa, vei gasi destule argumente sa te bucuri. Lucrurile (înca) functioneaza. Sarpanta lumii (înca) tine. Mai exista înca oameni întregi, traditii vii, întâlniri miraculoase. Traim într-un sos toxic, dar el contine înca mirodenii subtile, cu efect anesteziant. Marele animal cosmic nu pare înca sa ia în serios agitatia noastra propagandistica, spaimele noastre apocaliptice. Se poate trai. Se poate trai bine. Se poate (înca) trai frumos." (Andrei PLESU)

"Mi se întâmplă rar. Din ce în ce mai rar. De regulă, ceea ce văd, ceea ce aud, ceea ce trăiesc mă indispune până la depresie. Şi totuşi, fără motiv aparent, fără iluzii şi fără speranţe utopice, mă trezesc, uneori, cuprins de o nerezonabilă încredere în soarta lumii. S-ar spune, pe scurt, că lumea stă într-o tolerabilă cumpănă. Relele ei nu prevalează semnificativ asupra părţilor ei bune."

"Trebuie, mai întâi, sa va spun ca va citesc acum un capitol din cartea mea care se numeste Amintiri din pribegie. [...] Capitolul pe care vi-l citesc este ultimul din aceasta carte si, de fapt, este dincolo de pribegie, fiindca e vorba de socul întoarcerii mele în tara, dupa o absenta de patruzeci si cinci de ani. Eram în momentul acela la Paris, secretar general al unei institutii românesti benevole care se numea Casa Româneasca, si, impresionati peste masura de ce se întâmplase la Bucuresti în decembrie 1989, am hotarât sa venim la Bucuresti cu niste masini, aducând în tara lucruri care lipseau partidelor, universitatilor.

Nu se poate sa nu te întrebi, din cînd în cînd, cum se face ca cei virtuosi au necazuri, în vreme ce pacatosii o duc bine. si, în definitiv, cum se împaca portretul unui Dumnezeu bun, iubitor, milostiv, cu existenta ubicua a raului în lume. Acestea sunt întrebarile Cartii lui Iov. Ea nu vine cu raspunsuri ultime. Dar îsi arata ca, punîndu-si asemenea întrebari, esti într-o buna si veche companie. Si ca, pîna sa ai un raspuns, te poti bucura de o capodopera a poeziei vechi-testamentare.

Paris, Cartierul Latin, într-una din mansardele pamântului: istoria otravita a sfîrsitului nostru de mileniu s-a petrecut în afara acestui spatiu nespus de modest, dar abia aici, sub acoperisul de pe strada Odéon 21, s-a nascut opera care avea sa devina constiinta nefericirii noastre. Autorul ei, un Nietzsche contemporan trecut pe la scoala moralistilor francezi, a fost pe rând considerat nihilistul veacului, the king of pessimists, scepticul de serviciu al unei lumi în declin.

Prima poveste e despre o dragoste târzie la Paris. A doua despre îngerii de lângă noi. În cea de-a treia veți simți un puternic miros de terebentină, iar în a patra, parfum de crini regali. A cincea vă aduce în auz un nume care zgârie și unul care mângâie. Prima poveste are miză și pariază pe nenoroc. A doua cade din fantastic în lumea noastră cea de toate zilele. A treia are realism, râs, nerv. A patra inocență, umor, visare. A cincea, cu ironie, face poezie și economie (politică).

Ecolul 19 este o alta planeta. Iti trebuie un anume spirit de aventura ca sa te intorci acolo, asumandu-ti riscul de a trai, zi de zi, exact ca oamenii vremii, de a te obisnui cu felul lor energic de a fi, cu regulile lor de conversatie, cu numeroasele lor obiecte de imbracaminte obligatoriu de purtat in acelasi timp pe unul si-acelasi trup, cu caii si cu servitorii lor, cu inima lor moale si cu taria lor de caracter, cu oala lor de noapte si cu balurile lor, cu teribilele lor pistoale si cu neajutorarea ingrozitoare in fata bolii, cu miasmele, cu parfumurile si cu sarurile lor, cu puricii si plosnitele dezgustatoare din hanurile lor, cu privatele din curte, cu scrisorile lor enorme si cu felul atat de direct in care ti se adreseaza chiar tie, cititorule, in romanele lor. Dar riscul cel mare este sa te deprinzi cu increderea lor absoluta intr-un viitor care tie, celui venit de acolo, din viitorul in care credeau ei atat de frumos, iti strange inima. Daca ajungi sa crezi si tu in el, ca ei, reintoarcerea acasa ar putea fi plina de dezamagiri si regrete.

Razvan Vasilescu citind povestirile lui Cehov, sensibile si pline de umor, despre oameni simpli si intamplarile lor complicate, pare ca vine chiar din secolul XIX. Si nu vine singur, aduce cu sine un arhivar devenit celebru cu ocazia unui accident provocat de betie, o guvernanta mototoala care este supusa unui test cinic, un functionar care, impins de aburii betiei, ii cere socoteala fostului sau sef, un batran demn si important nevoit sa solicite ajutor pentru nepotul sau neispravit, un functionar sfrijit care se ploconeste in fata fostului sau coleg, ajuns om mare, o actrita ingenua care asteapta declaratia unui comic sacait insa de lipsa unui pahar de vodca, un contraamiral care este invitat la o nunta doar datorita rangului sau, un croitor care traieste din hazul amintirilor, acceptandu-si resemnat umilinta de dragul lor, un raufacator inocent care nu intelege ce fatalitate l-a adus in sala de judecata.

"Ne mândrim în asemenea masura cu Eminescu, încât aproape ca nu mai simtim nevoia sa-l citim. Ni se pare ca îl cunoaștem. Nu e el ilustrarea suprema a virtutilor nationale? Nu e el justificarea noastra în absolut? Numai ca, redus la efigie, la poza de manual, poetul risca sa fie uitat. Eminescu nu înseamna doar Luceafarul, Scrisoarea a III-a, Somnoroase pasarele sau Pe lînga plopii fara soș. E mult mai mult si e altfeldecât l-am fixat în memoria noastra. E grav, dar se si joaca, e trist, dar poate fi si binedispus, e solemn si profetic, dar poate sa fie si ironic sau plictisit. Asta am încercat sa arat prin versurile pe care am ales sa le citesc pentru dumneavoastra." (Andrei PLESU)

Comicul enorm, la limita dezastrului (logic, lexical, gramatical, cultural), al acestui monument de brambureala si impostura valaha are efectul paradoxal de a ma întrema. Avem, carevasazica, resurse de umor (fie si involuntar), avem înca resurse de vitalitate animala din care, cine stie, vor rasari, cândva, si florile gingase ale normalitatii!"

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.
