Her bankrupt father had told her on his death-bed to defend her interests ruthlessly - since wealth is the only means of escape from the cruelties of existence...

Perhaps this suggestive nocturnal atmosphere also gives a key to the chief problems that have dominated Andric's work - The study of history and philosophy has inevitably led him to ask what forces - in the blows and bitterness of antagonisms and conflicts, act to fashion a people and a nation! - His own spiritual attitude is crucial in that respect - considering these antagonisms with a deliberate and acquired serenity, he endeavours to see them all in the light of reason - and with a profoundly human spirit. Herein lies, in the last analysis, the major theme of all his work - from the Balkans it brings to the entire world a stoic message - as our generation has experienced it... (I. Andric, Pres. Sp. 1961)

Andric studied philosophy at the universities of Zagreb, Vienna, and Cracow - when Germany invaded Yugoslavia in 1941- Andric returned to Belgrade and lived there in seclusion - throughout the Second World War...

Andric started his literary career as a poet... - There followed a long period in which Andric concentrated on the writing of short stories... - Andric takes his material from the life of Bosnia, but through this local material he presents universal human problems...

But in Prokleta avilija (Devil's Yard, 1954), Andric returned to his favorite milieu and described the experiences of a Bosnian Franciscan, Fra Peter, who is put in an Istanbul jail being wrongly accused - of plotting against Ottoman rule... (I. Andric, Biography)

In the end it matters little - whether the writer evokes the past, describes the present, or even plunges boldly into the future... (I. Andric, Banquet Sp. 1961)

At the outbreak of the Second World War he was the Yugoslav ambassador in Berlin - Only a few hours after his return to Belgrade, the city was bombed by German planes - Forced to retreat during the German occupation - Andric nevertheless managed to survive - and to write 3 remarkable novels...

Later, in the asceticism of strict self-discipline - he discovered the way that he called "the eternal unconscious and blessed patrimony", a discovery that also signified the introduction into his work of the objective epic form which he henceforth cultivated, making himself the interpreter of those ancestral experiences - that make a people conscious of what it is...

The religious wars between Mohammedans, Christians, and Jews - all of this contribute to create the atmosphere that, after a century of tension - was going to be rent by the lightning at Sarajewo...
(I. Andric, Pres. Sp. 1961)
