Kutshanje ndimamele udliwanondlebe noDon UArturo Pérez Reverte Ukujongana nomba wobuzwe, imvakalelo yokuba ngowakho, iiflegi kunye nabo bazigquma ngazo. Ingqondo yokuba yiSpanish namhlanje iyanxila yimibono, iingcinga, izakhiwo kunye nesithunzi eside sokukrokrela malunga nesazisi esisebenza njengonobangela wengxabano eqhubekayo malunga nokuba kuthetha ntoni ukuba yiSpanish. Iilebhile kunye neManichaeism zilinganisela nayiphi na imbono yokuba yintoni iSpanish, endaweni yabo bonke abo benza iyelenqe ngokuchasene nenyaniso yokuba iyinyani, bayizalisa ngetyala, bayisondela kwi-prism yomzuzu yomzuzu ophulukene neepasiti ezimnyama ukuze bawusebenzise. Umbono osebenza nzima wokuba iSpain ngoku iyafana naxa yayihluthwe kwaye isonyanzelwa liqela, icinga ukwamkelwa ngokupheleleyo ukuba konke kulahlekile, ukuba abo baguqula phantsi kweprism enye bayigcina phambi kwabo babethanda yinto engaphezulu kwaye eyahlukileyo. Ukusilela ekuchazeni ilizwe lakho, njengayo nayiphi na enye, kwaye kunezibane kunye nezithunzi zalo kwaye, ekugqibeleni, akufuneki kube zezayo nayiphi na ingcinga kodwa kwabo bahlala kolo hlanga lwesizwe lungaqhelekanga.
Kungenxa yoko le nto kungaze kube buhlungu ukunika ingqalelo kumbhali osisiseko wemihla yethu. Umbhali osebenza ngaphandle kwengxabano malunga nesazisi ukusuka kwi-anecdotal ukuya kwizinto eziyimfuneko. Kungenxa yokuba olu hlobo lokudityaniswa kweengcinga lubonisa iindawo ezahlukeneyo zexeshana ze-Iberia apho ama-rogues, scoundrels, liars, conjurers of the verb and indoctrinators ngaphandle kwemfundiso yabo baphumeleleyo kwaye baphumelela, kuwo omabini amacala ombono woluvo.
Kwaye ndithi "mbumbulu" ukubeka phambi kweengcamango kuba ngokwenene, kumaxesha amaninzi imalunga noku, ukhulula ubuxoki, ubonakalise ubuxoki, ubhale kunye nesiphetho esibuhlungu kakhulu sikaPérez Reverte sokugqibela ngokumakisha ngamnye ngeengxaki zabo.
Ukuzingca ngokuba yiSpanish okanye isiPhuthukezi okanye isiFrentshi kuhlala kubuqaqawuli babantu abasakhululekileyo kweli bala lokuziphatha kubuxoki. Ukujongana nobuzwe obucingelwayo, abemi baseSpain abonileyo banxibe iflegi eyahlukileyo, leyo banxibe kuyo ngenyaniso nococeko, engazange ikhusele abantu abangaziphathanga kakuhle xa ingezizo izaphuli-mthetho. Njengokuba abantu ababi banokuba kwicala elinye kuphela, ngokungathi ukucinga ngokwahlukileyo kubo kuya kungena kuloo ndawo kuthiwa yiSpain emnyama ukuba ukuba ikho kanye kungenxa yobuso obunobukrakra apho abanye bajonge ngamehlo izolo, kwaye abanye Impendulo eyenzakalisayo, baphathiswe oomoya abadala.
Kungenxa yokuba akufani nokuphindaphinda ukubuyiselwa kwamalungelo kunye nembeko yokoyiswa nakweyiphi na imfazwe kunokuba uzame ukufaka yonke into kwi-indominy, kude kube sekupheleni kweentsuku nayo yonke into ehamba ngesantya esifanayo.
Imbali kaPérez Reverte sisithuba sokuthetha ngokukhululekileyo, ngaphandle kolwimi olunyanzelweyo ngokuchanekileyo kwezopolitiko, ngaphandle kwamatyala nabaxhasi abanokubakho, ngaphandle kokuzibophelela kwaye ngaphandle kwenjongo yokubhala imbali entsha. Imbali ikoluvo nayo, okoko nje oku ayisiyiyo into exhaphakileyo yokuzixhasa.
Yonke into iphantsi. Kwaye oko kuyaziwa ngumbhali owenza uvelwano sisixhobo sokurhweba. Kwaye ke le ncwadi siyifumana ithetha ngenkohlakalo xa umthetho wawukhohlakele kwaye evula ingxabano xa ukungqubana kweembono kukhokelela kwisaqhwithi.
ISpain, isambuku sobuzwe ngokokuba ngubani oyibonayo, iprojekthi ngokudibanisa indawo elula, ilizwe lakowabo yi-hodgepodge ekwabelwana ngayo ukusuka ePyrenees ukuya eGibraltar. Konke komnye kubuxhakaxhaka obuqhelekileyo, ukuthatha inxaxheba kumzuzu ozukileyo okanye kumaphepha amnyama, kuxhomekeke kwindlela abafuna ukufunda ngayo.
UPérez Reverte lilizwi lobuchwephesha kula malaphu ashushu ziiflegi, ibali lokuba le Spain ingaba yintoni eyona nto intle, ngokulula, kukujonga abanye njengabalinganayo kwaye sonwabele izinto zabo xa sihamba Obu budlelwane bunomdla werag ekude ephakanyisiweyo. Incinci okanye enye into yiSpain, nokuba yileta esongelayo umhobe. Ngo-Matshi wasebukhosini nokuba imvelaphi yayo ilahlekile kwimpembelelo yokuyilwa okungafaniyo.
