Editor's Note:
Acul de aur și ochii Glorianei este un roman de aventuri şi un posibil argument în sprijinul ideii că istoria constă într-o suită de versiuni. Suntem la sfârşitul secolului XVI, când lumea îşi păstrează relieful moştenit din alte vremuri: înşelătorii şi alianţe, cuceriri şi conspiraţii, excese şi duşmănii. Răzbunarea e monedă forte, iar trădarea, un tic fără frontiere. Pe scaunul papal de la Quirinale stă Clement VIII, în timp ce tronul Angliei e ocupat de Elisabeta I. Departe de ei, într-un sat ascuns în pădurile Umbriei, fraţii Durante şi Cesare Scacchi nu bănuiesc ce le rezervă destinul. Dacă Fulvia, ghicitoarea din ţinut, le-ar spune că vor ajunge oculişti reputaţi, i-ar râde în nas sau ar crede-o nebună. Şi totuşi, chiar asta se întâmplă. Destinul e atât de pus pe şotii, încât Durante Scacchi, fratele cel mare, devine medicul personal al papei. În ce-l priveşte pe Cesare, fratele cel mic, el e escortat la Londra, unde trebuie s-o opereze de cataractă pe Gloriana, aşa cum îi spun supuşii reginei Elisabeta. Din Val Castoriana la Roma şi de acolo la Londra, cu o incursiune prin Normandia, fraţii Scacchi scriu o cronică plină de neprevăzut, în care sublimul şi oroarea trăiesc împreună.Însă Acul de aur și ochii Glorianei nu e doar o poveste despre ciumă şi pedeapsă, în care trebuie să-i dăm lui Cesare ce e al lui Cesare. Romanul lui Radu Paraschivescu, în care se insinuează Richard Burbage sau umbrele lui Ann de Boleyn, William Shakespeare şi Caravaggio, e poate în primul rând un omagiu adus ochiului, vederii şi culorilor.Acul de aur și ochii Glorianei trebuia să deschidă o carte de povestiri. Numai că – am aflat și eu – socoteala din minte nu se potrivește cu cea din timpul scrisului. Și al cercetării – căci, da, a fost nevoie să consult diverse surse și documente privind istoria de altădată a Umbriei și a Angliei elisabetane. Pe măsură ce ramificam trama și descopeream întâmplări și amănunte care meritau luate în calcul, îmi dădeam seama că rama unei povestiri ar fi prea îngustă pentru aventura lui Cesare Scacchi și a celor din jurul lui, fie ei umbrieni, romani, francezi sau englezi. Fie ei măcelari, diplomaþi, mesageri, amante, interpreþi, medici, curteni, papi sau regine. Era nevoie de mai mult. Era nevoie de un roman. Cu atât mai mult cu cât mi se făcuse dor de scris un roman, mai cu seamă că de la ultimul se împlinesc mâine-poimâine nouă ani.Pe copertă: George Peter Alexander Healy, Elizabeth I Rainbow Portrait, după un portret atribuit lui Marcus Geeraerts the Younger (detaliu)
