Add to basketEsta es la última novela, inédita en castellano, de Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (1839-1908). Sólo desde finales del siglo XX se ha extendido la lectura del fundador de las letras brasileñas modernas. En Memorial de Aires, aparecido en 1908, se mezclan la literatura de personajes y la meditación más personal, con una voz entrecortada, precisa y a la vez reticente, que relativiza todas sus afirmaciones y proporciona a su relato una dimensión irónica. Además, Machado de Assis da un leve sesgo histórico a su arte, que se vuelve más despojado y reflexivo, así como más memorialista. Memorial de Aires describe lentamente el triunfo del amor, en un tono entre idílico y sarcástico, pero no deja de recordarnos directamente el ocaso del régimen latifundista brasileño como una época ya barrida y polvorienta -«¡Hay escobas!, ¡plumeros!». Pues, a partir de 1889, se produce el nacimiento de Brasil contemporáneo con el fin de la esclavitud y del régimen imperial. Felizmente hemos terminado con la esclavitud, escribe aquí Machado, y añade: «pero por más que quememos todas las leyes, los decretos y ordenanzas, no podremos acabar con los actos particulares, las escrituras e inventarios, ni tampoco apagar lo sancionado por la Historia e, incluso, por la propia poesía». Esta singular novela de comienzos del siglo XX es una gran evocación personal del Río de Janeiro finisecular -donde se mezclan el deseo, las carencias y el miedo-, así como uno de sus libros más misteriosos y de más ricos matices. Una palabra que a menudo aparece aquí es saudade, recuerdo nostálgico de personas y cosas lejanas o ya extintas. Pero esta obra, rememorativa y melancólica, es además un juego verbal del autor, que se recrea, a través de su embajador retirado Aires, en un tono burlón y mordaz.
