Part Two

The Tex Guido Nolitta: a great humanity against the wounds of God

We come to the great Guido Nolitta, aka Sergio Bonelli, the second author who has tried his hand in the writing of stories Rangers, alongside his father in a work to shake your wrists: Tex write but not limited to, he can become the support of his father, who was often helpful to his son when the latter was facing difficulties in writing, for example immediately after the first few numbers of Zagor. I think enough thanks to the editor this undertaking has been a source of great concern and pain head, but sometimes the pain of the head can be very fruitful, such as when Zeus gave birth to Athena from the skull directly at a big headache, caparisoned at all points. To me the parallels between the two cases, there is everything. The Tex
Nolitta, seen in retrospect, that is to say in hindsight, it confirms in my opinion was a great character, the heroic stature very impressive, although the differences in the way of writing than the parent were many and quite significant . Meanwhile, Tex is very hard, maybe even harder than his father but lost much of his easygoing air. Conversely his vocabulary and his way of expressing heavy and become much more serious (dare) (And this despite Nolitta enter several "curtains" funny) and somewhat rhetorical, as well as the expression of abstract values \u200b\u200band ideals, all concrete instead of the hero's father's both: the ranger Louis G. Bonelli is a positive character who drags events, Tex Nolitta is a great hero who is destined to defeat, however, because the rot against generalized interests against the dirty, negative against an evil world and there is no victory, only an unremitting struggle, tireless and full of illusory success , who regularly turn out to be mixed with bitterness and a sense of helplessness. Nolitta Tex turns into a hero inflexible and rigid, willing to follow his personal code of ethics even at the cost of life when there is everything to gain from the stall or come to terms, which since its first story becomes a fully fledged ranger and later an Indian chief paternalistic and loving, as aware of the inevitable defeat and the imminent end of his world.
Nolitta Many stories are beautiful and also several of the masterpieces: not only, some characters created by this great author are among the most popular series, many memorable years of their appearance: the lone dell'West and El Muerto are examples more immediate, but of course many others would have to be mentioned. His masterpieces were born on Tex, however, as his stories , containing cioè i suoi topoi, come l'amicone che si rivela essere poi il vero cattivo e come il vicecomandante giovane e borioso che prende improvvisamente il posto di un comandante esperto e ragionevole. Il Tex di Nolitta si sporca e si deve lavare, radere, fatica, ha sete, ha sonno, suda come i comuni mortali, ma questo non sminuisce la sua grandezza, anzi, il contrario, la esalta: Tex non è un semidio armato di cuore di leone e stinchi di santo, è un essere umano grandioso che titanicamente combatte il male in un mondo magmatico e proteiforme, dove nulla è quello che sembra e dove ogni vittoria è fondamentalmente il preludio ad una sconfitta: un eroe grandissimo che si staglia contro uno sfondo molto grigio, per non dire quasi nero.
Tex does not move the story, Tex the fight to the end without falling and remains standing despite a real cyclone is sweeping down upon him and many around him who placed their hopes in him.
Leaving aside the often naive confidence that Tex has to give away to the enemy, as opposed to the distrust of intuition and that its correspondent Gian Luigi Bonelli, the bottom is a detail but still very significant: I understand perfectly Nolitta that would be an example to follow as the author, because of the unorthodoxy of some of his choices, including that of neglect in favor of Carson or Tiger Kit paired with Tex Willer. Although some of these tarnish the myth created by her father, Tex that arises è tutt'altro che un personaggio poco interessante, anzi, e quando i pennelli sono quelli di Fusco, di Ticci o di Galep vengono fuori delle coppie autore disegnatore da ANTOLOGIA. Chiamarle memorabili sarebbe francamente riduttivo.

texiane Tradition and modernity: a point of view clearly part [1]


Parte prima: il Tex di Giovanni Luigi Bonelli


Un discorso chiaramente partigiano

Avverto il lettore che quello che mi accingo a scrivere non è un intervento che wish to be objective, it is clearly a part of speech, and intellectual honesty, I must immediately admit that there is no doubt that this should be considered. There is, for me to be objective when discussing a topic that deeply touches my feelings. Indeed, rather, that affects the sentiments of what I was, that a child daydreaming the collection of Tex in his library, and put at the top of his wish to be able to browse and read the wonderful books of the ranger , books that wanted more than anything in the world.
Other times, I must say. Times when our mothers did not want playing at home, we threw him out after school as soon as the season allowed it and did not want to meet again until a certain time. And then there were not the groups of boys with or without their beloved books, waiting to be able to complete two teams for the ball, and meanwhile organized a fantastic stock exchange securities with beautiful and colorful. Other times I was saying. And of course, another Tex ...
... Another Tex, an introduction linked to nostalgia, childhood ... I could not choose the best allies that this stain from my talk is only of ideological hues and simple counter that I do become distracted by nostalgia, that often the changes are better but are perceived as so negative. Okay, I chose to play a difficult game, but a Once I've agreed to do so I just have to play it all the way and openly. And then of course I do, giving an overview of the features that impressed me then and that meant that the love for the character is virtually unchanged after so many years in me.

The Tex Gian Luigi Bonelli, a great character is difficult to define

A mo 'introduction, I tried to jot down a list of characteristics of the rangers as well as I knew him back when I read it too table, provoking the ire of my parents and ruining the books permanently:

Tex is the driving force of all its history. All things revolve around him, the heliocentric system is replaced by "texcentrico. Nothing positive can happen without his involvement. Tex was born as an outlaw, and in fact immediately embodies the righteousness which is quite separate from the law, Tex is a synthesis impossible Rangers, Indian chief and Indian agent, white and red. Tex is a man who strikes terror into the enemies and absolute trust in friends. Tex is able to find any clue of hank and his nose and "a certain voice," lead him straight to the solution of any plot ... and so on.

I could go on for pages, but doing what I think is an absolutely useless: it is impossible, or at least extremely simplistic, to try to know the origins of Tex listing its major characteristics. It would be much quicker and better to list only one: the inconsistency. Tex is a very contradictory character with himself, as the result of many years of adventures written by his father and the first writer unsurpassed in a large volcanic and without planning, as he often said. An Indian chief who called the red man "faces of clay," a lawyer acting maliciously by the arsonist, the bomber and the torturer, a man who despises money and that he always pays with mysterious inexhaustible funds but does a blizzard because the soldiers were handed over to Navajos of his lean animals, except leave enormous treasures in gold and emeralds to rot in the desert, which could easily turn his people into a community of rich vaqueros. And even in this list I could dwell at leisure. What I think is clear from these reviews on the subject as it is true that the first Tex is easy to think of a mysterious object, being a person who is groping his precise identity, both graphic and psychological but, Incredi, Tex remains and will remain a difficult character to define and harness in one or more synthetic formulas also true in the age of first maturity, in what is generally considered his period gold, that I, perhaps arbitrarily, I tend to identify with the arrival of William letter and order books of the strip, in which the comic becomes really very nice graphically and is definitely a quantum leap.
Tex: a short and snappy name designed for a man of action and impulsive, which does not hesitate to physically attack anyone who dares to question his word or who dares to challenge or provoke him, indeed, he is a born provocateur, a man who is able to say what he thinks anyone without fear of retaliation, which does not come to terms except through their own initiative, who lives in an open, brave, risky and yet always has a smile on his lips. But Tex is also the name of an intelligent and intuitive, and positive skeptic who does not believe in magic although it has clashed several times with the sorcerer, a man all my heart and all of the brain, in short, a man at the square. And as in all things squared, the less they become more and no less so, despite the common mortals do not enjoy this wonderful privilege. Even the pards, starting with Kit Carson, who acts as a humanizing and a watch, and remember to have sleep and hunger, being tired and feeling pessimistic and discouraged.
The charm of this character is great: a man alone, often without even the moral support of the army or other institutions that need his help, can to bring justice in the wilderness in which there is rule of force, annihilating opponents despite the disproportionate size, use of resources "cathartic" as fire, explosion, water or even launched into a mad train race. A titanic Tex, which moves almost forces of nature that is almost always a smile, able to joke in the shark tank or enough to deal with his own tormentors.
This fascination is, in my humble opinion, the secret of the success of the series: the character certainly has some characteristics of the classic comic book hero, the kind that come out of the water with his pants dry and have no moral hesitation because their code etico scolpito nel granito, ma è, in realtà , eterno , più che moderno o classico, rappresentando, certo, l'eterna lotta del bene contro il male, ma nel suo caso con il bene protagonista soverchiante e disposto ad adoperare qualsiasi mezzo per prevalere. Tex rappresenta una giustizia aggressiva ed eterodossa, una giustizia "illegale" che ha un opinione molto bassa della legge, i cui rappresentanti spesso, lungi dall'applicarla, la adoperano come scudo per difendere i loro loschi scopi a spese dei più deboli, non senza l'avvallo di chi dovrebbe controllarli e che invece fa l'esatto contrario. E la rappresenta in maniere altamente spettacolari, dalla immancabile rissa nel saloon ai migliori "fuochi artificial "dynamite.

A character almost magical, that over time and the changing of the authors has changed and many of them like me, they feel acutely the nostalgia.

What To Write In A Baptism Card

Hevel HAVALIM

There are reports that you can not interpret.

The U.S. secretary of state went into a press conference to say that the State of the Union speech 2010 (a bit 'as Napolitano's speech at the end of year, but with a world-class hundred times as much), Obama will decide after the first episode of the sixth season of Lost, so as not to prevent anyone from seeing (and using the tow television, as if speaking after Striscia la notizia).

I love Lost, I think it is literature in its own way to contemporary images. I have often thought that might be used as a teaching tool to explain how to construct a narrative just for the sake of telling it. It 's a perfect Bignami for figures of speech, for the syntax of the plot and narrative uses for the first time on a screen with consistency e freschezza la figura della prolessi o flashforward (il ricordo del futuro).

Però.

Però ci sono cose più serie. E, persino nei miei ricordi di bambino, il discorso sullo stato dell’Unione lo era. Ancor più dovrebbe esserlo oggi, dal momento che, volenti o nolenti, della periferia di quella Unione ne facciamo parte anche noi.

Perdo colpi.

No, non è lagnanza. Però li perdo.

Ogni tanto mi capita di vedere il mio anziano padre cercare di destreggiarsi su una tastiera di computer. He, like me, and unlike my son, not a digital native.

dies on as if there were to be a climb or abseil.

Yet at the time was a radio operator for the army, in a brilliant young telegraph Morse code, well able to keep up the courses of NATO.

not know about you, I bite I learned as a Boy Scout, but he is a language with which we still speak today at breakfast.

Do write a Word document and will hate you for a morning. A database and you risk of nest una carabinata sulle chiappe. Ad aria compressa.

Dove, o meglio quando, la sua linea di intelligenza tecnologica ha divorziato dalla memoria di lavoro?

Non lo so. E non oso chiederglielo.

So quando verosimilmente è accaduto per me.

E fu il T9.

Quella tortura per dita telefoniniche non l’ho mai sofferta. Fu odio a prima vista. E il chiudersi di una linea evolutiva per sempre.

Posso metterci minuti a digitare un sms. Conosco gente che nello stesso tempo comporrebbe l’Iliade per tastiera a 9 toni.

Mi sono procurato un libro.

Che è all’origine di questi sproloqui.

Per i tipi di Einaudi, alla indecente somma di euro sessantacinque, è stato edito “Nebbia”, una sorta di antologia a cura di di Remo Ceserani e Umberto Eco.

Solo un malato di nebbia come me lo avrebbe acquistato, uno che nella terra della nebbia ci è nato, e ancora ci vive, sebbene un centinaio di metri più su, dove già alcune prospettive cambiano.

Fog is a disease. A disease of the soul. What makes it better.

them a body understandable, but elusive. Allows you to understand without being able to understand, that is collected.

"The fog is cancer. It protects you. Legions of human beings would want to return to the womb (of anyone, in the words of Woody Allen). The fog you realize this impossible dream. Amniotic grants you happiness. You have the feeling that maybe one day you will leave from the vagina and you'll face the world, but for now you are safe. And since the birth is the beginning of the trail that takes you inexorably to death, the fog is assurance (alas virtual) that death may not perverrai. Just stop there. But just because you do not know where you are, the fog tends to move out of it (which is foolish and crazy madness stupidity). Those who venture to stay there, he wants to get out. This is why all men are mortal. "

This brilliant in the preface of Eco.

And I agree. It must be the closest thing to the amniotic fluid that exists. Happiness and unconsciousness. Even if you dive with heavy black heart and mind. There everything is floating.

And limbo. Everything in the mist may be dead, living or even born yet.

It 's the physical situation experiential ever closer to the mythical Schrödinger's cat.

The door on the many worlds and many parallel universes.

And in the fog, the door is always ajar. Only a fool wide open for the dying in a world of light.

Because the mist is nothing.

Nothing fills the void.

As these words in this blog.
