Ruína

Depósito de livros escolares em Detroit

Eis a impressionante visão de pilhas e pilhas de livros escolares ao abandono num gigantesco armazém em Detroit. Os livros, muitos deles ainda por desempacotar, ficaram durante 20 anos à mercê de incêndios e intempéries, juntamente com toneladas de outros materiais educativos. Eis o que disse o blogger que captou a imagem, depois de visitar tão fantasmagórico local:

«This is a building where our deeply-troubled public school system once stored its supplies, and then one day apparently walked away from it all, allowing everything to go to waste. (…) To walk around this building transcends the sort of typical ruin-fetishism and “sadness” some get from a beautiful abandoned building. This city’s school district is so impoverished that students are not allowed to take their textbooks home to do homework, and many of its administrators are so corrupt that every few months the newspapers have a field day with their scandals, sweetheart-deals, and expensive trips made at the expense of a population of children who can no longer rely on a public education to help lift them from the cycle of violence and poverty that has made Detroit the most dangerous city in America. To walk through this ruin, more than any other, I think, is to obliquely experience the real tragedy of this city; not some sentimental tragedy of brick and plaster, but one of people.»

        «Tenho a suspeita de que a espécie humana - a única - está prestes a extinguir-se e que a Biblioteca perdurará: iluminada, solitária, infinita, perfeitamente imóvel, armada de volumes preciosos, inútil, incorruptível, secreta» Jorge Luis Borges
