La vie de Sebastian Rodriguez, du terrorisme d’extrême gauche aux podiums de natation paralympique, a servi de fil rouge à l’auteur pour raconter la transition démocratique de l’Espagne, commencée il y a un demi-siècle.
The main conceptual idea of the text "De silence et d’or", by Ivan Butel, is to explore the complex transition from Francoist Spain to democracy through the life of Sebastian "Chano" Rodriguez, a Paralympic swimmer.
Rodriguez's journey, from being a member of a left-wing terrorist group to becoming a champion athlete, reflects the social and political upheavals of the period and serves as a lens through which to understand the challenges and triumphs of Spain's democratic transition.
The text also touches upon themes of forgiveness, reconciliation, and the lingering shadows of the past in a society trying to move forward.
