Overview: Tai žymaus anglų rašytojo G. K. Čestertono grožinis kūrinys, parašytas 1909 m. Kartais jis įvardijamas kaip trileris, kaip satyra ar net nuotykių apysaka jaunimui, ir iki šių dienų vis pasirodo naujų jo leidimų. Paradoksalu, tačiau XX a. pradžioje rašyta knyga visiškai nepraranda aktualumo, kaip ir pagrindinis joje gvildenamas klausimas – vertybių vaidmuo mūsų gyvenime. Kataliko ir ateisto „dvikovoje“ veriasi dabartinio pasaulio alegorija, šmaikštūs veikėjų pokalbiai kviečia susimąstyti, nelikti abejingiems.Vertėjo palydėjimasJūsų rankose ypatinga knyga. Puikiai suprantu, kad šis teiginys banalus pasaulyje, kuriame viskas pristatoma kaip „kultinis“ ar „pats pačiausias“. Tačiau kaip kitaip galima apibūdinti grožinį kūrinį, kuris vienu metu yra komedija ir tragedija, fantastinė apysaka ir trikdančiai tiksli mūsų laikų diagnozė, aistringas tiesos siekis, o kartu aiškus skirties tarp fanatizmo ir ortodoksijos išryškinimas.Kita vertus, kiekvienas rašytojo Gilberto Čestertono (Gilbert Keith Chesterton) kūrinys – tai nuotykis, kelionė, po kurios tampi kiek kitoks. Tikresnis. Tiesa, dera įspėti, kad tikras gyvenimas visada yra iššūkis ir nuolatinė dvikova su melu apie save, kuris dažnai atrodo patogesnis, saugesnis.Čestertonas rašė daug. Jis aistringai gynė teisę į tiesą pasaulyje, kuris tarsi išprotėjo. Šio anglų mąstytojo eseistika – trikdantis sveiko proto balsas, aistringa pastanga palydėti skaitytoją iš kreivų veidrodžių karalijos. Jo sukurtas detektyvinių apsakymų herojus tėvas Braunas neabejotinai priklauso garbingai Šerloko Holmso, komisaro Megrė, misis Marpl kompanijai. Jis taip pat yra šešių romanų autorius. Vienas iš jų – „Kryžius ir rutulys“.Šis kūrinys parašytas 1909 metais. Iš karto po to, kai Čestertonas paskelbė vieną įspūdingiausių krikščionybės apologijų – „Ortodoksija“ – ir prieš pat esė rinkinį – „Kas negerai su šiuo pasauliu?“. Nors formaliai šios trys knygos niekaip nėra susijusios, tačiau jos subtiliai viena kitą papildo.Tiesa, dera paminėti, kad „Kryžius ir rutulys” sulaukė nevienareikšmiškos kritikų reakcijos. Net pats Čestertonas jautėsi jų kiek sutrikdytas – vėliau bandė koreguoti knygos detales. Būtų keisčiau, jei šis romanas būtų sutiktas visuotinėmis liaupsėmis. Nedaugelis džiaugiasi, kai yra iškviečiami į dvikovą. Čestertonas šiame romane meta iššūkį visam pasauliui, taip pat ir kiekvienam skaitytojui ir reikalauja kautis dėl savo vertybių, nes esą kitaip visiems paskelbs, kad esame niekingi bailiai.Paradoksalu tai, kad prieš daugiau nei šimtą metų rašyta knyga, regis, kur kas aktualesnė šiandien, nei tada, kai autorius ją paskelbė pirmą kartą. Panašiai galima pasakyti ir apie Džordžo Orvelo „1984“. Beje, abi knygos turi nemažai ką bendro, nors iš pirmo žvilgsnio skiriasi viskuo. Orvelas teigė, kad pasaulis tampa kalėjimu, o Čestertonas gerokai anksčiau rašė, kad pasaulis virsta beprotnamiu, ir net įvardijo tą, kuris pretenduoja tapti vyriausiuoju gydytoju.Perfrazuojant vieną iš knygos „Kryžius ir rutulys“ herojų, galima sakyti, kad Čestertonas šiame romane pasakoja tokius neįtikėtinus dalykus, jog negali jais netikėti. Kryžiaus ir rutulio ginče rašytojas neabejotinai yra kryžiaus pusėje. Tačiau kaip renkantis kryžių nepasiduoti pagundai pačiam tapti tuo, kuris ne tiek seka Nukryžiuotoju, kiek tampa inkvizitoriumi, pasiryžusiu kitus nukryžiuoti?Du pagrindiniai knygos herojai – iš skirtingų Škotijos vietų kilę aukštas juodaplaukis Makienas, katalikas, kuris lieka ištikimas seniai nuo politinės scenos pasitraukusiai karališkajai Stiuartų dinastijai, ir nedidelio ūgio raudonplaukis, raudonbarzdis laikraščio „Ateistas“ redaktorius, kasdien žmonėms, kuriems tai visai nerūpi, bandantis įrodyti, kad Dievo nėra.Svarbu atkreipti dėmesį į socialinį, politinį ir kultūrinį kontekstą, kuriame ši knyga buvo parašyta. XX amžiaus pradžioje Vakarų pasaulyje Bažnyčia buvo vis labiau stumiama iš viešojo gyvenimo, daugybė žmonių buvo susižavėję eugenika, t. y. pastangomis patobulinti žmoniją. Deja, kaip rašo Čestertonas, jei iš pasaulio patraukiamas kryžius, anaiptol, neprasideda laisvės ir laimės epocha, bet veikiau žmonija pradeda svirduliuoti tarsi apgirtusi. Katalikų Bažnyčia, pasak Čestertono, yra padariusi daugybę klaidų ir net nusikaltimų, tačiau tik ji šiandien dar sugeba apsaugoti nuo proto savidestrukcijos. Išmeskime tikėjimą ir pasaulis taps nepakenčiamu beprotnamiu. Radikali išvada? Čestertonas niekada nebijojo būti radikalus ir plaukti prieš įvaizdžių srovę. Svarbiausia, jis labai talentingai sugebėjo perteikti tai, ką dauguma miglotai suvokiame ar jaučiame, bet nesugebame tiksliai suformuluoti.Versti Čestertono tekstus į lietuvių kalbą sudėtinga. Versti jo grožinę kūrybą dar keliolika kartų sudėtingiau. Ne vienoje vietoje jaučiausi patekęs į grakščiai paspęstus kalbinius rašytojo spąstus. Neturiu iliuzijos, kad vertime man pavyko bent priartėti prie to čestertoniško subtilaus rašymo būdo, originalo kalboje primenančio ypatingos rūšies vyną,...
