Najbolje priče našeg nobelovca, prvi put tematski raspoređene! Ekskluzivna kolekcija šest zbirki pripovedaka. Izvedite čoveka iz balkanskih planina na more, i vi ste otvorili jedan opojan praznik sa radosnim svitanjem i neizvesnim sutonom. Želja za morem izgleda da se sakupljala i rasla kroz pokolenja, i njeno ostvarenje u jednoj, našoj, ličnosti žestoko je kao eksplozija. Izlazak jednog plemena na more, to je početak njegove prave istorije, njegov ulazak u carstvo većih izgleda i boljih mogućnosti. Taj odlučni čas u istoriji vrste ponavlja se svaki put u istoriji pojedinca pri prvom dodiru sa morem, samo u drugom obliku i manjem obimu. Ivo Andrić Prizori kamenih zidina starih gradova ovenčanih mediteranskim rastinjem, večna muzika šuma talasa, škrgutanje šljunka, zveckanje zagonetnih nanosa plime, miris morskog vazduha – sve je to pozadina na kojoj junaci Andrićevih Priča o moru, rastrzani nemirima, svešću o poreklu i čežnjom za boljim svetom, žele da pobede logiku istorije i kulture, zakone geografije i fizike, u tragičnoj nemoći da i u željenim prostorima, pred širim vidicima, prevaziđu granice sopstvenog naciona, intelekta i ličnosti.
Author
Ivan "Ivo" Andrić (Cyrillic: Иво Андрић) was a Yugoslav and Bosnian novelist, short story writer and Nobel prizewinner. His writings deal mainly with life in his native Bosnia under the Ottoman Empire. His house in Travnik is now a Museum. His Belgrade flat on Andrićev Venac hosts the Museum of Ivo Andrić and the Ivo Andrić Foundation. After the Second World War, he spent most of his time in his Belgrade home, held ceremonial posts in the Communist government of Yugoslavia and was a Bosnia and Herzegovina parliamentarian. He was also a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. In 1961, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature "for the epic force with which he has traced themes and depicted human destinies drawn from the history of his country". He donated the prize money to libraries in Bosnia and Herzegovina. His works include The Bridge on the Drina, Bosnian Chronicle (aka Chronicles of Travnik), and The Woman from Sarajevo. These were written during WW2 while he was living quietly in Belgrade and published in 1945. They are often referred to as the "Bosnian Trilogy" as they were published simultaneously and had been written in the same period. However, they're connected only thematically. Other works include Ex Ponto (1918), Unrest (Nemiri, '20), The Journey of Alija Đerzelez (Put Alije Đerzeleza, 1920), The Vizier's Elephant (Priča o vezirovom slonu, 1948; tr. 1962), The Damned Yard (Prokleta avlija, 1954), and Omer-Pasha Latas (Omerpaša Latas, released posthumously in 1977)
