Kurzbeschreibung
A vivid depiction of the suffering history has imposed upon the people of Bosnia from the late 16th century to the beginning of World War I, "The Bridge on the Drina" was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1961. As we seek to make sense of the current nightmare in this region, this remarkable, timely book serves as a reliable guide to its people and history.
No better introduction to the study of Balkan and Ottoman history exists, nor do I know of any work of fiction that more persuasively introduces the reader to a civilization other than our own. It is an intellectual and emotional adventure to encounter the Ottoman world through Andric's pages in its grandiose beginning and at its tottering finale. It is, in short, a marvelous work, a masterpiece, and very much "sui generis." . . . Andric's sensitive portrait of social change in distant Bosnia has revelatory force." (William H. McNeill, from the introduction)
Born in Bosnia, Ivo Andric (1892-1975) was a distinguished diplomat and novelist. His books include "The Damned Yard: And Other Stories," and "The Days of the Consuls."
Synopsis
Portrays the dramatic lives of the people living in a small town near a huge stone bridge in the Balkans.

I'm a yugoslav girl, we live in Holland. I was 5 yrs old when the war started, and I never understood why, I didn't even know that there were Croats, muslims, and Serbs. To me we are all YUGOSLAV. That's why I love this book so much, it doesn't judge people just because of their ethnicity. We must all stop doing that, in a history, far far ago, we were ONE NATION, when we came here from behind the Carpats. And Ivo Andric is not a Bosnian Serb nor a Bosnian Croat, he's YUGOSLAV! The four reasons why the Balkan is so f**ked up are: 1)The Byzantium Empire, they made the Serbians orthodox 2)The Ottomans, they threw in the Islam 3) Austria-Hungary, they made the Croats catholic 4) The Slavic stubborness! If Andric was alive now, he would be ashamed because of us. We do not deserve his book if we cannot use it to bring lasting peace. The war, it broke my heart, as I still have a niece in Croatia who I never even met, because my uncle was kicked out because he's a Serb. Now he's a drunk, my parents are frustrated ever since the war and my life is hell. I just want the old Yugoslavia back, with it's tourism, music (Merlin, Oliver, Neda Ukraden and Crvena Jabuka) and no more judging! Like the people in Visegrad lived in peace with eachother, even though terrible things happened when the Ottomans and Habsburgs were there, why couldn't we just do that? It's up to us....
Format:Taschenbuch
A lifelong Slavicist with particular love for the former Yugoslavia drove me to this book early in my studies of the Balkans. I read the book with no particular appreciation for what I was reading several years ago, and I recently reread it (it is definitely a book that warrants rereading for its attention to detail, its excellent descriptions, and its ability to shed light on the history of the Balkan region-- particularly for those, like me, who are not native to the region.) I traveled to the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia and Croatia) last year, and after having been there, I gained a whole new appreciation for this book. The most fitting way to describe it is to say that it is vivid, alive, and enduring. I loved it. It tells the story of a noble and fascinating people and culture.
Format:Taschenbuch
This novel is trully a masterpiece of literature. In 23 years of my life, I have read it twice, both in English and in original language and will most likelly read it many times again. Together with "Bosnian Chronicle" this is must-to-read book for all those who want to know something more about the Balkans and Bosnia itself.

A book of hatred
It is a very good novel, its literary value must be acknowledged. I think that people should read it to see intellectual roots of folks like Milosevic and Tudjman. Lesen Sie weiter...

a great waste of time
Not an interesting book. Just to respond to few of the reviewers (who are probably servs/serbs) Bosnia is not an artificial creation. Lesen Sie weiter...
