Tirānzīt: Persian 1400

Anna Seghers, a writer who was forced to flee Germany at the beginning of World War II, wrote "Transit" based on people wanted by the Nazis and struggling to get visas and get their documents stamped. Anna Zagres wrote and published Transit in 1944, while the story of her amazing novel had become one of the most frequent stories of the 20th century, and this story continues to this day! People who were and are being forced to flee, exile, and seek refuge at the hands of domestic despotic rulers or foreign occupiers, voluntarily or by force, and wait for days, months, and even years in the lists and queues of embassies, consulates, and customs until a paper stamped to Give them a hand, as a sign of their salvation and freedom. This frequent story has many layers and details that the novel "Transit" has dealt with in the best possible way. The story of transit is not just the story of standing in the visa queue, it is the story of choices, decisions, internal struggles, torments, consciences, the issue of love, friendship, family and doubts, contradictions, and connections. The book "Transit" can be considered, with the least doubt, the most profound novel about life in the horror of fascism and the story of fugitive people waiting for rescue. A novel that tunnels between political and social layers into individual minds and human relationships, as every great and universal novel should be. For many, the novel "Transit" is reminiscent of the modern and unique film adaptation of "Christian Pitzold", a famous German filmmaker of the 3rd millennium, and reading this novel for many fans of that cinematic masterpiece is an escape to find dialogues between the film and the source novel.
