Bøger af Élisée Reclus

Élisée Reclus’ Et vandløbs historie udkom første gang i 1869. Det er en underlig bog. Halvt poetisk besyngelse af vandløb og natur. Halvt anarko-socialistisk manifest. Grundlæggende be­står bogens projekt i at beskrive et vandløb fra kilde til hav. Men det er ikke udelukkende en geolog, som taler. Sproget er ikke udelukkende videnskabeligt, selvom ordforrådet er præcist og varieret. Natur­en beskrives ikke bare nøgternt og registrerende. Videnskabsmanden har fået selskab af digteren og socialisten. Digteren fortaber sig i naturen og beskriver den indgående ned til mindste detalje. Ikke som et korrektiv til geograf­en, men som en udvidelse af det videnskabelige blik. Den skal også beskrives sanseligt, som den optræder for det åbne, modtagelige og påvirkelige menneske.I titlen Et vandløbs historie er det tydeligt, at bogen ikke kun er interesseret i en direkte og naturvidenskabelig udlægning af surhedsgrad og vandstand. Vandløbet har en historie, og det indskriver sig dermed også i menneskets evolution og har relevans for den måde, vi indretter vores samfund på. Vi flakser således med Reclus rundt i historien fra stenalderens hulemænd over den romerske hærfører Scipios badeture og videre op til forfatterens samtid, hvor vandløbet indgår i den topmoderne industriali­sering. Flere steder bevæger vi os endda ud over samtiden og ender i en socialistisk utopi, hvor arbejderne forenes, og menneskeheden samles i et magtfrit fællesskab.Bogen er i høj grad relevant i dag, fordi den tilbyder os et frisk og bejaende blik på natur­en som noget, der ikke ligger uden for os selv. Naturen hos Reclus er ikke den store Anden, som man enten kan passe på eller ødelægge. Den er ikke udelukkende et objekt, men optræder i menneskets historie og kultur som en drivende kraft. Vandløbet er som resten af naturen evigt forbundet med mennesket på godt og ondt, og det løber som en understrøm i bogen, at det er essentielt for mennesket at vedligeholde denne forbindelse.På den led flyder Reclus’ poetiske projekt sammen med hans politiske over­bevisning. Den geografisk præcise og poetisk sanselige indoptagelse af naturen bliver en modstandskamp for digteren. Naturen er både et middel til at genoplade batterierne og samle kræfter til den store kamp for frihed og retfærdighed, men den har også en iboende værdi for os som del af vores fælles historie og udvikling.

I 1869 og 1880 udgav den franske geograf, forfatter og anarkist Élisée Reclus (1830-1905) Historien om et vandløb og Historien om et bjerg, der nu begge foreligger på dansk i Troels Hughes Hansens oversættelse. De to bøger havde i sin tid en bred appel og stærk indvirkning på den almene forståelse af naturen. Elisée Reclus plæderede for et vildt og harmonisk naturbegreb, hvilket stod i skarp kontrast til den industrielle civilisations udvikling i slutning af 1800-tallet.Bogen er i høj grad relevant i dag, fordi den tilbyder os et frisk og bejaende blik på natur­en som noget, der ikke ligger uden for os selv.

" Les continents et les îles qui surgirent des profondeurs de la mer et l'Océan lui-même, avec ses golfes, les lacs et les fleuves, toutes les individualités géographiques de la Terre en leur variété infinie de nature, de phénomènes et d'aspect portent les marques du travail incessant des forces toujours à l'oeuvre pour les modifier. A son tour, chacune de ces formes terrestres est devenue, dès son apparition, et continue d'être, dans tout le cours de son existence, la cause secondaire des changements qui se produisent dans la vie des êtres nés de la Terre. Une histoire, infinie par la suite des vicissitudes, s'est ainsi déroulée d'âge en âge sous l'influence des deux milieux, céleste et terrestre, pour tous les groupes d'organismes, végétaux et animaux, que font germer la mer et le sol nourricier. Quand l'homme naquit, après le cycle immense d'autres espèces, son développement se trouvait déjà projeté dans l'avenir par la forme et le relief des contrées dans lesquelles ses ancêtres animaux avaient vécu. Vue de haut, dans ses rapports avec l'Homme, la Géographie n'est autre chose que l'Histoire dans l'espace, de même que l'Histoire est la Géographie dans le temps. Herder, parlant de la physiologie, ne nous a-t-il pas déjà dit qu'elle est l'anatomie agissante ? Ne peut-on dire également que l'Homme est la Nature prenant conscience d'elle-même ?..."

" Il y a dix-huit ans déjà, le fondateur de la religion mormone prophétisait, au nom du Seigneur Dieu, qu'avant la venue du Fils de l'homme une révolution amenée par la question de l'esclavage éclaterait dans la Caroline du sud et ferait verser des torrents de sang. . Cette prédiction, facile à énoncer, menace de s'accomplir aujourd'hui. Les états unis naguère se sont groupés en deux confédérations ennemies, et l'on tremble à chaque instant d'entendre le signal de la guerre civile. Quel rôle joueront les mormons dans ce drame ? Indépendants de fait, mais n'en supportant pas moins avec impatience le gouvernement de l'Union, saisiront-ils cette occasion pour revendiquer leur autonomie, ou bien resteront-ils spectateurs impassibles en apparence du conflit qui se prépare ?..."
