Octavian Paler plagiat sau plagiator? Am gasit un filmulet pe You Tube, in mai multe limbi, care era o prezentare a unui eseu numit " Paradox of our Time " semnat Bob Moorehead. Ca rezultat al unei contradictii cu cineva am aflat ca e de fapt o poezie scrisa de Octavian Paler numita " Paradoxul zilelor noastre ", traducere cuvint cu cuvint a versiunii anterioare. Am cautat pe net si am aflat ca eseul scris de Bob Moorehead a aparut in 1995 intr-o carte numita " Words aptly spoken ". Am cautat si versiunea domnului Paler insa nu am gasit publicatia unde apare pentru prima data. Voi ce parere aveti?

Gata! Am gasit! Se pare ca nu este textul lui! Si nici "Interviu cu Dumnezeu" nu este! :(((

Interesanta postarea ta. Nu stiam de Bob Moorehead. Am cautat si eu acum, dar nu gasesc nicio referinta la anul aparitiei. sad

| WhatheWow explică (pentru anadark84):

Cineva spunea ca a aparut in " Scrisori imaginare " din 1979 dar eu ma indoiesc ca in acele vremuri comuniste Paler ar fi putut scrie asa ceva, iar daca citesti bine scrie si ceva referitor la calculatoare si internet ceea ce in acea vreme era practic imposibil.

Words Aptly Spoken Quotes (showing 1-1 of 1)
"The Paradox of Our Age

We have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways but narrower viewpoints; we spend more but have less; we buy more but enjoy it less; we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, yet less time; we have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge but less judgement; more experts, yet more problems; we have more gadgets but less satisfaction; more medicine, yet less wellness; we take more vitamins but see fewer results. We drink too much; smoke too much; spend too recklessly; laugh too little; drive too fast; get too angry quickly; stay up too late; get up too tired; read too seldom; watch TV too much and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values; we fly in faster planes to arrive there quicker, to do less and return sooner; we sign more contracts only to realize fewer profits; we talk too much; love too seldom and lie too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've done larger things, but not better things; we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less; we make faster planes, but longer lines; we learned to rush, but not to wait; we have more weapons, but less peace; higher incomes, but lower morals; more parties, but less fun; more food, but less appeasement; more acquaintances, but fewer friends; more effort, but less success. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; drive smaller cars that have bigger problems; build larger factories that produce less. We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, but short character; steep in profits, but shallow relationships. These are times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure and less fun; higher postage, but slower mail; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorces; these are times of fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, cartridge living, thow-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies and pills that do everything from cheer, to prevent, quiet or kill. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stock room. Indeed, these are the times!"

Dap, si avem si marturia lui Paler ca nu este el autorul.

| WhatheWow explică (pentru anadark84):

Da aici recunoaste, dar de ce lumea ii atribuie lui acest eseu?

| anadark84 a răspuns (pentru WhatheWow):

Din ce zice acolo, "Interviu cu Dumnezeu" a fost publicat intr-un ziar canadian cu numele lui. Probabil ceva de genul asta a fost si cu " Paradoxul vremurilor noastre".

| WhatheWow explică (pentru anadark84):

Chiar si Biblioteca din Sibiu am vazut ca-i atribuie lui Paler acest eseu.

| anadark84 a răspuns (pentru WhatheWow):

Ciudat...

| WhatheWow explică (pentru anadark84):

Nu stiu cine i-a atribuit acest eseu domnuluu Paler dar cred ca trebuie corectata.

Tocmai ce am gasit asta: http://www.johanzammit.com/? p=310
Se pare ca poezia ii este atribuita si lui Dalai Lama... si lui George Carlin... hmmm, nu cred ca Paler ar fi plagiat! Probabil toti ceilalti l-au plagiat pe el! :P
