About This Book
The Bridge on the Drina is 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. 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
"The dreadful events occurring in Sarajevo over the past several months
turn my mind to a remarkable historical novel from the land we used to
call Yugoslavia, Ivo Andric's The Bridge on the Drina."--John M. Mohan,
Des Moines Sunday Register
