Gerrako Zaldia liburuaren azala
Gerrako Zaldia liburuaren azala
Erabat ezezaguna nuen Michael Morpurgo (Hertfordshire, Erresuma Batua, 1943) eta horra sorpresa, irakurri berri dudan liburua zinemara eta eszenatokira eraman dutela jakitean. Dirudienez, sonatua izan da eleberriaren jatorrizko izenburua hartu duen Steven Spielbergen filma: War Horse (2011). Eta urtebete beranduago, Koro Navarrok euskarara itzuli du Morpurgoren eleberria, Gerrako zaldia izenarekin.

Egia esan, ez dut liburuaz gozatu eta ez dut arrazoia guztiz argi. Ez dakit istorioa, itzulpena, kontatzeko modua, nire kontzentrazio falta, edota denen arteko nahasketa moduko bat izan ote den amaierara kostata heltzeko faktorea. Edozein kasutan, harritua naiz, izugarri maite baitut Lehen Mundu Gerra garaian kokatzen den literatura, eta baliteke hura izatea eleberrian aurrera egiteko ene interesik behinena. Bestela, kontatzen den gazte eta zaldi baten arteko istorio xamurra astunegi suertatu zait.

Hala eta guztiz ere, Gerrako zaldia eraikitzeko, idazleak baliatu duen material berridatzi eta etengabe erabiliari, ikuspegi originala gaineratu diola iruditu zait. Izan ere, mundua markaturik utziko duen Gerra Handia bezalako basakeria eta, orduko ez-inoren lur babesgabean, honek eragindako zabor ikaragarriaren lur mortua gogora dakarkigu planteamendu pertsonal eta berezi xamar batetik abiatuta: nola bizi zuten zaldiek Gerra Handia? Zein da Joey zaldiak gordetzen duen orduko kaosaren memoria? Non izan zen zaldien heriotza-tasa altuena? Zenbatekoa?

Jakina galdera erretorikoak direla, baina ez erantzunik ez dutelako, baizik eta erantzuna bilatu nahi izan ez zaielako. Alegia, planteatzerik ere inori bururatu izan ez zaiolako. Jakin nahi duenarentzat “zaldirik ez bada muniziorik ez da […] zaldirik ez bada, urik ez da fronteko gizonentzako, zaldien mende dago armada osoaren bizimodua” (138. orr). Ene kasuan, hauxe izan da Morpurgok oparitu didan gerraz hausnartzeko ikuspegi berria. Hortaz, 14ko gerra (eta noski, gerra oro) bezalako erokeria izugarrian, non giza bizitzak zera garrantzitsuena bilakatzen diren, animaliez galdetzea ez da batere inozoa. Izan ere, bada animaliak eta gizakiak batu ahal izango dituen galdera (erretoriko? Erantzun ezinezko?) bat: zergatik eta zertarako gerra?

Erantzuna jakin ezin eta, hala ere, parte hartzera behartu dituzten zaldien protagonismoak gerraren absurdoa agerian uzten du. Baina gizonen jakin nahi ezak eta planteatu ahal izanak, absurdoa areagotu egiten du: nola hil lezake gizon batek beste bat, eta jakin ez egiaz zergatik hiltzen duen? (102. orr).

Xamurtasunaz gain, ideia solte interesgarriak topa daitezke liburu honetan. Horiengatik, bada, merezi du irakurtzea
