“Adventure,” L. Ron Hubbard said, “I well know, is in the heart, not in the view.” In his stories, which were uniquely drawn from true-to-life experiences, including then-rare voyages to Asia and the South Pacific, he adventured grandly, carrying readers into the cold, storm-swept sea, or the heat of a vast desert or the wild currents of the air. A member of the famed Explorers Club, Mr. Hubbard delivered in these stories a sharp jolt of reality with a healthy dose of pulse-pounding bold adventure.

Unas veces nos oprimen y otras oprimimos en el juego de las relaciones y la amoralidad del poder. Esbirros todos: del jefe, del hermano, del policía, del asesino, cuando no de uno mismo. Somos amos, somos esclavos y compartimos la supervivencia y la caída de estos personajes, que nos asquean, aterran o alarman en la misma medida que nos reconocemos en ellos. No busquen historias Disney ni fábulas morales en estas páginas. Acaban de tropezar con la contundencia y la fuerza de la mejor literatura mexicana.

Diez tramas que acaban conformando un mismo largometraje mental y que se ven no como cuentos de hadas pero sí como cuentos de embrujadas a la espera de la llegada de ese gran tornado que las lleve muy lejos o que las devuelva a ese sitio que jamás quisieron abandonar. En el más technicolor black & white, Navia enseña todo lo mucho y muy bueno que sus oyentes tienen para aprender de ella escuchándola –desde los créditos de apertura hasta el The End, por favor, shhh, sin hacer ruido– en el más elocuente y conmovido y agradecido de los silencios por toda su luminosa oscuridad.

La selva que rodea y que acecha. Carreteras secundarias y arroyos de lluvia. Una finca llamada Alegría. Vidas de quienes rara vez consiguen lo que quieren, vidas de ida y vuelta, vidas acomodadas a la violencia o que desaparecen de un zarpazo. Con su obra, Margarita García Robayo combina existencias, espacios y tiempos porque uno puede llenar el hueco de historias, y las historias de más huecos y esos huecos de más historias: la vida es una historia que contiene otra y que contiene otra. Uno no está condenado a una sola historia.

Alexandre empolga-se com a narração de suas aventuras, muitas vezes impossíveis e inacreditáveis, mas recebe sempre o apoio de sua mulher Cesária.
