«Le pont sur la Drina» is the historical novel by Ivo Andrić, published by Belfond in paperback (406 pages, in French).
The novel has no single hero: its protagonists are a stone bridge over the Drina River in Bosnia, and the people who for more than four centuries loved it, hated it, built it, or tried to destroy it. The bridge bears witness to life and war, and unites generations and cultures as the region changes around it.
Originally published in 1945 as «Na Drini ćuprija», this novel opens the Bosnian Trilogy by Andrić, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
For readers of historical fiction and literary classics, interested in the Balkans and in the work of a Nobel Prize winner.
Ivo Andrić was a Yugoslav novelist, poet and short story writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1961. His writings dealt mainly with life in his native Bosnia under Ottoman rule.
