Akukho nto inomtsalane ngaphandle kothando lokwenyani oluwele inkwenkwezi, kunye nokukhutshwa okuzayo kweeleta phakathi UPeter Pan umbhali uJM Barrie kunye Isiqithi esixabisekileyo umbhali uRobert Louis Stevenson, kukho ulangazelelo olunzulu oluqhubekayo.
Ngoku ka Umgcini, emva kwe a inkulungwane yokulahleka , Iileta ezilahlekileyo phakathi kukaJM Barrie kuRobert Louis Stevenson zifunyenwe! Njengazo zonke izinto ezikrokrisayo, zafunyanwa kwibhokisi yekhadibhodi kwindawo yokugcina amathala eencwadi kwaye ziya kupapashwa okokuqala kwincwadi ezayo.
Ababhali ababini baseScotland baqala ukubhalelana ngo-1892 kwaye uStevenson, owayemdala, wasweleka kwiminyaka emibini kuphela emva koko. Kuyabonakala ukuba, emva konyaka wembalelwano, u-Barrie wabhala wathi: Ukuba buthuntu ndiye ndafumanisa (bendikrokrela ixesha elithile) ukuba ndiyakuthanda, kwaye ukuba ubungumfazi… Esi sigwebo sishiywe singagqitywanga kodwa abo bangama-ellipses, abahlobo bam.
Emva kokubhubha kukaStevenson, icala lakhe lembalelwano lapapashwa, kodwa uBarrie wayengekho. Icala likaBarrie leeleta lalifundeka njengonobumba wam onqwenela ngokweemvakalelo ku-Lord Sesshomaru emva xa ndicinga ukuba ndingamenza abekho.
Ezinye zeeleta zikaBarrie zingaphezulu kwamagama angama-3 000 ubude kwaye zibandakanya ukubhengezwa kothando, unqwenela ukuba adibane noStevenson (abo babini zange badibane) nto leyo eyenza ukuba ibe lusizi kwaye ibe lusizi, kwaye becinga ukuba esi sibini besinxulumene kakhulu ukuze bavule Ukuya kuStevenson malunga nobudlelwane bakhe obusondeleyo kunye nonina. Zimbini nje iibroos ezihlonipha isihogo ngaphandle komnye nomnye.
UGqirha Michael Shaw, umhlohli kwizifundo zaseScotland kwiYunivesithi yaseStirling, wayifumana ibhokisi kwiThala leeNcwadi laseBeinecke kwiYunivesithi yaseYale. Ekuqaleni, wayengazi ukuba oonobumba balahlekile.
Ndicinga nje ukuba zipapashiwe kwaye andazi ngazo. Ndizigweba, ndicinga ukuba kufanelekile ukuba ndizifundile, utshilo. Kude kwaba kukuzama kwakhe ukuthenga incwadi yembalelwano apho wafumanisa into ayivumbileyo ngengozi.
Kwincwadi ezayo kaShaw, Ubuhlobo kwiileta , iileta ekugqibeleni ziya kuba nakho ukubonakala ngokupheleleyo. Oko kutyhilwe kwezi leta- kwaye kwandithatha ixesha ukufumana ubungakanani obupheleleyo beli - yimpembelelo yokuba bobabini uStevenson kunye nembalelwano banayo kuBarrie, utshilo uShaw. Xa ndifunda ngaphezulu kwemisebenzi kaBarrie, ndaqala ukubona ukuthelekiswa koonobumba kunye noStevenson endandingakhange ndiqaphele ngaphambili.
Ewe kuyakubakho abathile abaya kulubona olu lwimi njengoluthandanayo, kodwa ndiza kuthumela wonke umntu ku ukuba ubungumfazi… kancinci kwaye undixelele ukuba ayinguye lowo ufikayo !
