Ikota yesiLatin, eParis, yinkcubeko esulungekileyo: Abafundi baseyunivesithi yaseLa Sorbonne betyhila iincwadi, iivenkile ezingamasekeni ezibonisa iivenkile zabo, ibala elingumangaliso iSt.Michel kunye neevenkile zeencwadi apho uHemingway okanye uMiller bebehleli khona befunda, bebhala kulala. Ithala leencwadi ekuthethwa ngalo libiziwe IShakespeare kunye neNkampani kwaye ibekwe kwi-37 rue de la Búcherie, elunxwemeni lomlambo iSeine eqhubeka nokuba yeyona ndawo iphambili kubazobi kunye nabacingeli.
Des bons reves
Kwibhankini lasekhohlo laseSeine, ivenkile yeencwadi iyaqhubeka nokusebenza phakathi kweengxilimbela ezinamashishini ezinje ngoGibert Jeune, abafundi abakhawulezayo, kunye nokubona kweTrace Dame. Ekuboneni kokuqala, iShakespeare & Co inokubonakala ngathi yenye ivenkile yeencwadi kwezininzi ezenza indawo yaseSaint Michel kunye neKota yesiLatin, iiparadesi zenkcubeko apho uzokulahleka khona xa utyelele kwikomkhulu laseFrance.
Nangona kunjalo, xa singena kwaye sidlula kwi-arch eyenziwe ngeencwadi kuphela, izinyuko zibonakala ngathi ziyaxhaswa kwimigangatho eyenziwe ngeekopi zeOdyssey okanye iThe Grapes of Wrath nasekupheleni kwepaseji ebomvu amakhethini abomvu abonakala ngathi ibhedi. Kunjalo.
Yonke le nto yaqala ngo-1919, unyaka owawusakuba lilizwe lakowabo laseMerika USylvia Beach wavula ivenkile ethengisa iincwadi eRue Dupuytren ebizwa ngokuba yiShakespare & Co. Kuyo yonke le minyaka le venkile yayiyindawo yezenkcubeko kunye nababhali abahloliweyo kumazwe eAnglo-Saxon, jonga iUlysses kaJames Joyce okanye amalungu eSizukulwana esilahlekileyo esikhokelwa ngu Ernest Hemingway okanye uHenry Miller, oqhelekileyo wale venkile ngexesha lakhe eParis.
Emva kweMfazwe yesibini (II) yevenkile, ivenkile yeencwadi ayizange iphinde ivulwe emva kweengxabano ezahlukeneyo namagosa aseJamani. Kwakungowe-1951 xa uGeorge Whitman, ijoni laseMelika, evula i-Shakespare & Co e-rue de la Búcherie, eyalingisa iprojekthi yase-Beach, yona ke yaba yindawo yokubalekela iBeat Generation yezo 50s apho ukusuka kuJulio Cortázar kuye kuWilliam S. Burroughs bawela kwiipaseji zayo.
Kwelinye icala, ivenkile ethengisa iincwadi yanika ababhali ithuba lokulala apho okoko nje kuhlangatyezwana neemfuno ezithile: ukuchitha iiyure ezimbalwa bethumela kwaye be-odola iincwadi kwivenkile ethengisa iincwadi basebenzise ithuba labo lokufunda nokubhala kwakwindawo enye. "Izibophelelo" ezimbini ezonwabisayo kubabhali belixesha ekukhangeleni indawo yokuhlala kunye nezinto ezintsha ezikhuthazayo kwisixeko sothando.
Ezi ndwendwe ziyabizwa ingqengqelo (okanye izityalo eziqengqelekayo) njengembeko kwabo bazobi bahambahambayo abagqiba kwelokuba bahlale emathunjini evenkile ethengisa iincwadi apho banokukhuthaza khona uncwadi, benze ipayina kunye nabanye abahambi kwaye babhengeze indalo yoncwadi phakathi kweeshelfu zabo njengesiqinisekiso esikhethekileyo sokuhlawulela iintsuku ezimbalwa zokulala kule nto, ngokukaMiller, "i-Wondland yeencwadi."
Kwaye ngoku kulapho uzisolayo ngokuchitha imva kwemini ukhangela iincwadi zakho ngaphandle kokwazi ukuba "ukhetho lwe-B & B" lwalufakiwe.
Ungathanda ukulala kule venkile?
Molo Alberto.
Ndingathanda ukulala kuyo logama nje ibhedi intofontofo, kunjalo. Ndicinga ukuba baya kuba nezinto ezilungileyo zokulala ukuze batshintshe rhoqo ukuya kwisibini.
Besele ndisazi ngobukho bale venkile. Ndiyarhana ukuba yeyona idumileyo kwaye ityelelwe kakhulu eParis. Kwaye ukuba akunjalo, ngokuqinisekileyo iphakathi kweyokuqala.
Andizange ndive malunga nokuwa kwamagqabi.
Umbuliso osuka ku-Oviedo.
Le venkile intle, ndibenethuba lokuyityelela kunyaka ophelileyo. Kule mihla awunyanzelekanga ukuba ube ngumbhali ukuze ukwazi ukulala apho, ufuna nje ukuthanda iincwadi kwaye unike umvuzo ngomsebenzi othile njengoko ubutshilo. Konke okugqibelele.
