IVAN "IVO" ANDRIĆ (1892-1975) was a Yugoslav novelist and short story writer who won the 1961 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the epic force with which he has traced themes and depicted human destinies drawn from the history of his country."

Because of Andrić's unique circumstances (born in Bosnia to Croat parents, later living and working in Serbia), he is claimed as part of Serbian literature, Croatian literature, and Bosnian literature.  His novels and short stories deal mainly with the history, folklore, and culture of his native Bosnia under the Ottoman Empire.

The three principal novels included here comprise the "Bosnian trilogy", which were written during World War II and released simultaneously in 1945.  They are, however, connected only thematically and are three completely different works:

Set during the Napoleonic era, BOSNIAN CHRONICLE is a portrayal of conflict and fierce ethnic loyalties in a region that stubbornly refuses to submit to any outsider.  Ottoman viziers, French consuls, and Austrian plenipotentiaries are consumed by an endless game of diplomacy and double-dealing, while the Bosnians themselves observe and endure the machinations of greater powers that vie, futilely, to absorb them. 

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.  

THE WOMAN FROM SARAJEVO is set in the cities of Sarajevo and Belgrade during the first three decades of the 20th century.  It is the tragic life of a woman, Miss Raika Radaković, disappointed in people and the world she lives in, who is dominated by a single-minded greed for money and puts everything else out of her life: love, friendship, concern for other people.

The collection is rounded but by the novel DEVIL'S YARD (1954), two anthologies of short stories, and a volume featuring his Nobel Prize acceptance speech and associated materials.
