What Did We Learn From Silvano Novel ‘The Transfer’?
What Did We Learn From Silvano Novel ‘The Transfer’?: In this article, we will be discussing a review of “The Transfer”, a novel by Silvano Ceccherini (1915-1974).
‘The Transfer’ was written in 1966; SilvanoCeccherini penned down this book during a 22 year prison sentence. SilvanoCeccherini was known as an Italian anarchist and was imprisoned on grounds of criminality at the end of World War 2, resulting in an evident resistance to the publication and distribution of his book. “The Transfer” was his first novel and is an autobiographical account of his life as a prisoner.
The fictional protagonist of the novel is OlgiValnisi, who is also writing a book in/from prison describing the various contemplations and feelings he has developed during his restrictive tenure in the prison. The collective duo of Ceccherini-Olgiargues that instead of living “at the level of a beast in a cage”, one can make most of life by living a life for the mind and the soul; it is the only escape. In pursuit of his desires and what he thought to be right, in various installations of better and worse types of his sentence, he managed to teach himself to read and write.
Other activities he indulged in and passed his time with included making conversations with himself and others and reminiscing old times, people and places. He would also often live in a makeshift fantasy life, interacting with women or looking at the world through his spyglass at random intervals.
A distinctive learning he gathered and put across to the reader is that even though one forfeits in the present life, s/he should never give up on the “the promise of a future” of the world of the living beings. He repeatedly makes note of the endless possibilities and indescribable things/events the future can hold. Even if one is feeling anxious in their present lives, they should welcome the future as there is no limit to the prospects of the future.
Another notable point to be mentioned in a review of “The Transfer”, a novel by SilvanoCeccherini is the calm tone he writes with and the insistence on moral-spiritual values.
