Altered Perceptions

Livia Almeida

Primeiro volume de uma trilogia, Destino, da autora americana Ally Condie, em poucas semanas figurou na lista do New York Times. NA distopia criada pela autora, o futuro parece muito tranquilo. OS indivíduos têm acesso à educação, emprego e todo o bem-estar que um governo pode proporcionar - as ruas são extremamente limpas e organizadas e os meios de transporte são moderníssimos. MAs é esse mesmo governo, a quem todos chamam agora de Sociedade, é que decide onde se deve morar, o que comer, onde trabalhar, como se divertir, com quem se casar e quando se deve morrer. "Quando penso sobre de onde veio a ideia para este livro, tenho que dar todos os méritos ao meu marido", revela a autora. "Nós estávamos tendo uma conversa sobre casamento, e ele perguntou: e se o governo pudesse decidir com quem as pessoas deveriam casar, e se este sistema fosse realmente excelente? E então nós começamos a falar sobre a ideia das pessoas serem divididas por pares." Em Destino, a protagonista Cassia tem absoluta confiança nas escolhas que a Sociedade lhe reserva. TEr o futuro definido pelo sistema é um preço aparentemente pequeno a se pagar por uma vida tranquila e saudável e pela escolha do companheiro perfeito para formar uma família. COmo a maioria das meninas, aos 17 anos, ela já está pronta para conhecer seu Par. APós o anúncio oficial, a menina sente-se mais segura do que nunca. ROmântica, sonhava há anos com o momento do Banquete do Par, a cerimônia em que a Sociedade aponta aos jovens com quem irão casar. QUando surge numa tela o rosto de seu amigo mais querido, Xander - bonito, inteligente, atencioso, íntimo dela há tantos anos -, tudo parece bom demais para ser verdade. NA cerimônia, Cassia recebe um microcartão onde estão armazenadas todas as informações que precisa saber sobre seu futuro marido. MAs ao inseri-lo no terminal de sua casa, tem uma grande surpresa: a tela se apaga, volta a se acender por um instante, revelando um outro rosto, e se apaga de novo. É KY Markham, um antigo vizinho, quem ela vê. NEste instante, o mundo de certezas absolutas que conhecia parece se desfazer debaixo de seus pés. AGora, Cassia vê a Sociedade com novos olhos e é tomada por um inédito desejo de escolher. EScolher entre Xander e o sensível Ky, entre a segurança e o risco, entre a perfeição e a paixão. A Partir deste momento, Ally Condie cria um clima de angústia e expectativa em função da culpa que a adolescente sente por estar se desviando do que a Sociedade espera. AO contrário de outras obras de ficção científica, o livro não é centrado em cenas de ação. "O universo de Destino foi inspirado em uma série de pequenas experiências ao longo de minha vida. COisas aparentemente simples, mas que me marcaram de forma profunda, como aquela conversa com meu marido sobre o futuro e o meu baile de formatura. E Outras coisas ainda mais genéricas, como a sensação de se apaixonar ou ter o primeiro filho. ACho que o meu livro é diferente das obras do mesmo gênero exatamente por estar centrado em questões mais introspectivas." Lançado em novembro de 2010, os direitos do livro já foram vendidos para mais de trinta países e a adaptação para o cinema será feita pela Disney em associação com a Offspring Entertainment, após uma acirrada disputa com a Paramount Pictures.
