Arnold Hauser a partir da leitura que Engels faz de Balzac:
“It has since become
quite clear that artistic progressivism and political conservatism are
perfectly compatible and that every honest artist who describes reality
faithfully and sincerely has an enlightening and emancipating influence on his
age.”

Art, Volume 4, “Naturalism and impressionism,” p. 29
No mesmo livro Hauser transforma Charles Dickens,
contra ele mesmo e contra o próprio Dickens, numa figura de escritor muito interessante:
“This apparently so decent, correct,
respectable Victorian turns out to be a desperate surrealist tormented by
fear-ridden dreams.”
[…]
“…
in reality, all the characters of this naturalist are caricatures, all the
features of real life are exaggerated, pushed to extremes, overstrained,
everything becomes a fantastic shadow-play and puppet-show, everything is
transformed into the stylized simplified and stereotyped relationships and
situations of the melodrama.”

E na minha cabeça enquanto leio tudo isso, ele:
No meu mundo ideal, tirariam Nelson Rodrigues da tumba e entregariam nas mãos dele a próxima novela das oito da Rede Bobo. Depois disso: o Apocalipse Social!!! |
