Hur en dansk sagof\u00f6rfattare f\u00f6rest\u00e4llde sig framtidens \u00e4ventyr. (Open AI.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I en sagobok som Loppan fick av sin mormor hittade jag en kort historia i form av en framtidsvision om m\u00e4nniskor som ”p\u00e5 \u00e5ngans vingar genom luften” reser fr\u00e5n Amerika till det gamla bortgl\u00f6mda Europa.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ber\u00e4ttelsen heter Om \u00e5rtusenden<\/em> och skrevs av H C Andersen \u00e5r 1852. Den skildrar p\u00e5 ett par sidor hans id\u00e9 om kommande tiders turism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kanske inspirerades Andersen av den franske ingenj\u00f6ren Henri Giffard som just \u00e5r 1852 lyckades lyfta det f\u00f6rsta styrbara luftskeppet p\u00e5 en f\u00e4rd som gick n\u00e4stan tre mil fr\u00e5n Paris till \u00c9lancourt. \u00d6ver Atlanten tog den sig dock aldrig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Den lilla ber\u00e4ttelsen<\/strong> beskriver platser som farkostens passagerare susar f\u00f6rbi under den \u00e5tta dagar l\u00e5nga resan, och minnet av l\u00e4nge sedan d\u00f6da konstn\u00e4rer som Shakespeare, Moli\u00e9re och Calderon. I sagan \u00e4r amerikanerna det unga, friska sl\u00e4ktet medan europ\u00e9erna tillh\u00f6r det f\u00f6rflutna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intressant nog skrev Andersen sagan innan USA hade blivit det f\u00f6rlovade landet i egentligen mening, f\u00f6re den nordiska immigrationens och det ekonomiska uppsvingets tid. Det skulle dr\u00f6ja n\u00e4stan 70 \u00e5r till den f\u00f6rsta flygningen \u00f6ver Atlanten och ett sekel innan den luftburna turismen tog fart p\u00e5 allvar. Men Andersen s\u00e5g det komma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I dag har det f\u00f6rlovade <\/strong>landets president inte bara r\u00e4knat ut europ\u00e9erna utan ocks\u00e5 gjort sig till representant f\u00f6r allt vad det europeiska kulturarvet inte<\/em> \u00e4r: historiel\u00f6shet, ytlighet och vetenskapsf\u00f6rakt. Tillsammans med sina trogna ja-s\u00e4gare har han tagit hela m\u00e4nskligheten ombord p\u00e5 en ballongf\u00e4rd som ingen vet var den slutar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Har m\u00e4nskligheten om \u00e5rtusenden blivit klokare? Har den \u00e5tminstone korsat Atlanten i ballong? Det f\u00e5r vi i Andersens anda forts\u00e4tta att fantisera om.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
