Od Usumbure do Bengazija i natrag: Kvintusova Storija

by Karlo Hameder

Overview

Ovo su memoari jednog penzionera, sasvim običnog bivšeg prosvetnog radnika, koji sežu u razna vremena, neka i od pre 70 godina. To je Kvintusova priča pripovedana u prvom licu. Glavni lik je odrastao u porodici gde su, pet generacija unazad, svi muški članovi nosili isto ime, a već je i šesti član, Sekstus, istog imena, utabao značajni deo svojih staza i bogaza.
Storija počinje dalekih 1950-ih godina oslikavajući ne samo Kvintusove doživljaje iz njegove rane mladosti, već se daje i uvid u tadašnji svet i njegove osobenosti u jednoj maloj provincijskoj sredini koju smo mi sami nazvali Bengazijem.
Dolaze, i za svet značajne 1960. i 1970. godine, kada se ubrzavaju promene u svim sferama života, brže no što je iko mogao da pretpostavi. Kvintusove avanturice, formiranje njegovih stavova, njegova razmišljanja o svojoj sredini, a i svetu, ponekad su smešna, nekad tužna, a veoma često buntovna, zadržavajući takvo svoje viđenje ljudskog delanja i delovanja i u svim kasnijim periodima, sa nadom da će svet da se opameti.
Značajan deo posvećen je gradnji porodičnog života i posebnoj vezi sa Katkom, njegovom životnom saputnicom i njihovim putovanjima po svetu. U vidu nekakve kulise, pominju se događaji u svetu kroz sav taj period od 70 godina, uključujući i ona najnovija dešavanja koja mogu, a ne moraju, da čine korpus „buduće“ istorije.
