Editor's Note:
Esiste un filo che lega, in questa sorprendente galleria di ritratti, l'avventuroso Robinson e la luna Jane Austen, l'abissale De Quincey, l'infernale Vautrin e l'enfant terrible Pinocchio, il nevrotico Manzoni e il tetro Verga, gli occhi di Emma Bovary e i cavalli di Leskov, i nagatampo di Salgari e le bambine di Lewis Carroll?Sì, esiste. Non si tratta soltanto di un genere letterario al suo apice o di un secoli di meravigliosi e forsennati cambiamenti: è l'occhio di Pietro Citati. la sua capacità di vedere senza le lenti deformanti delle ideologie né punti di vista costrittivi; la sua passione per le sfide della mente e le superfici dell'esistenza; il suo dono di lasciarsi abitare dalla moltitudine di volti e di voci che si affollano in ogni scrittore, e si riverberano nella loro opera, "riflessi di riflessi, echi di echi".Pietro Citati non riesce a parlare di questi uomini senza darci un giudizio penetrante sui loro libri, ma non può parlare dei loro libri senza evocare la loro presenza, i gesti, le manie, le ingombranti e vitali contraddizioni: lo spirito di fuga di Defoe, che si spinge in mare aperto con il suo personaggio a incontrare il volto oscuro di Dio; il "bel frac e la cravatta alta e gonfia" di Potocki, che non potendo più conversare nei suoi salotti spazzati dalla Rivoluzione, si inabissa nei caleidoscopici "doppi" del 'Manoscritto trovato a Saragozza'; gli istinti distruttivi di Goethe, che nelle 'Affinità elettive' vuole applicare le leggi naturali al mondo umano e scopre le "forze spaventose che ci assaltano".E poi, le infinite incarnazioni di Balzac, spia, ladro, poliziotto e giudice delle sue creature; l'invincibile riserbo di Hawthorne, dalla fantasia lieve, disse James, "come l'ala che nella sera autunnale sfiora la finestra buia"; la geometrica ed enigmatica intelligenza di Manzoni; il folle riso e le incursioni nelle tenebre di Dickens; l'umor nero e la sconfinata pietà di Dostoevskij; la betise di Flaubert e l'"ignoto paese della morte" di Tolstoj.Alla fine del viaggio, Stevenson e James: i brillii, la velocità, la giovinezza intangibile e la grazia perfetta del primo, "una figura divina, mascherata da scrittore"; le ombre, gli indugi, l'inesauribile curiosità e gli aerei labirinti verbali del secondo, "un uomo incantevole, che soffro di non avere conosciuto". E, a suggello, le discese di Freud nell'Ade, nelle notti in cui scriveva l'Interpretazione dei sogni e fondava una scienza nuova: nata non nel laboratorio sperimentale di uno scienziato, ma dal "sogno cosmico di uno stregone moderno, che indossava senza saperlo le vesti di uno stregone antico".I saggi sono legati da un filo continuo. Balzac, Poe, Dumas, Hawthorne, Dostoevskij, Stevenson, James e quasi tutti i romanzieri dell'Ottocento sono attratti da una immagine: quella del Male Assoluto. Non il piccolo, tedioso male della realtà quotidiana: ma l'incanto che diffondono le grandi ali nere, ancora bagnate di luce, di Satana e degli angeli decaduti. Nel cuore del diciannovesimo secolo Satana risorge; compie sino in fondo la sua esperienza tremenda; esercita il fascino irresistibile di Stavrogin nei 'Demòni'; seduce, corrompe, uccide. Sta per identificarsi col Tutto; e nel momento di diventarlo, rivela di non essere altro che il Vuoto - quel "vioto gelido e vertiginoso, illimitato e senza confini", che domani la coscienza moderna.
