Sve priče u jednoj knjizi.

Povodom 125. godišnjice rođenja.

„Ponekad izgleda da čovečanstvo od prvog bleska svesti, kroz vekove priča samo sebi, u milion varijanata, uporedo sa dahom svojih pluća i ritmom svoga bila, stalno istu priču. A ta priča kao da želi, poput pričanja legendarne Šeherezade, da zavara krvnika, da odloži neminovnost tragičnog udesa koji nam preti, i produži iluziju života i trajanja.“ Ivo Andrić

Od 1920. do kraja života, za više od pola veka svog plodnog stvaralačkog rada, Andrić je napisao više od sto priča koje se mogu uvrstiti u svaku antologiju svetske priče. Majstor kratke prozne forme, samo naizgled tradicionalan u naraciji i stilu pripovedanja, Andrić zapravo pripada onim velikanima savremene svetske priče koji se uvek čitaju sa novim uzbuđenjem, lako i u dahu. Štaviše, kako vreme prolazi, Andrić je sve moderniji.

Bilo da pripoveda o bosanskim Muslimanima, Turcima ili Jevrejima, o ženama, gradovima ili fratrima, o neobičnim likovima koje je upoznao ili zamislio u Sarajevu, Višegradu ili Beogradu, Andrić sa neodoljivom ironijom, prepoznatljivim i jedinstvenim stilom uspeva u svojim pričama da čitaoca uvek iznova, kako je sam umeo da kaže, „iznenadi nečim poznatim“.

U govoru pod nazivom „O priči i pričanju“, koji je održao prilikom primanja Nobelove nagrade u Stokholmu 1961. godine, Andrić će sam sublimirati svoj pripovedački kredo: „Pripovedač možda priča sam sebi svoju priču, kao dete koje peva u mraku da bi zavaralo svoj strah? Ili je cilj toga pričanja da nam osvetli, bar malo, tamne puteve na koje nas često život baca, i da nam o tom životu, koji živimo ali koji ne vidimo i ne razumemo uvek, kaže nešto više nego što mi, u svojoj slabosti, možemo da saznamo i shvatimo.“

Ivo Andrić (Serbian Cyrillic: Иво Андрић; born Ivan 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.
Born in Travnik in Austria-Hungary, modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, Andrić attended high school in Sarajevo, where he became an active member of several South Slav national youth organizations. Following the assassination of Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand in June 1914, Andrić was arrested and imprisoned by the Austro-Hungarian police, who suspected his involvement in the plot. As the authorities were unable to build a strong case against him, he spent much of the war under house arrest, only being released following a general amnesty for such cases in July 1917. After the war, he studied South Slavic history and literature at universities in Zagreb and Graz, eventually attaining his PhD. in Graz in 1924. He worked in the diplomatic service of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia from 1920 to 1923 and again from 1924 to 1941. In 1939, he became Yugoslavia's ambassador to Germany, but his tenure ended in April 1941 with the German-led invasion of his country. Shortly after the invasion, Andrić returned to German-occupied Belgrade. He lived quietly in a friend's apartment for the duration of World War II, in conditions likened by some biographers to house arrest, and wrote some of his most important works, including Na Drini ćuprija (The Bridge on the Drina).
Following the war, Andrić was named to a number of ceremonial posts in Yugoslavia, which had since come under communist rule. In 1961, the Nobel Committee awarded him the Nobel Prize in Literature, selecting him over writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Frost, John Steinbeck and E.M. Forster. The Committee cited "the epic force with which he ... traced themes and depicted human destinies drawn from his country's history". Afterwards, Andrić's works found an international audience and were translated into a number of languages. In subsequent years, he received a number of awards in his native country. Andrić's health declined substantially in late 1974 and he died in Belgrade the following March.
In the years following Andrić's death, the Belgrade apartment where he spent much of World War II was converted into a museum and a nearby street corner was named in his honour. A number of other cities in the former Yugoslavia also have streets bearing his name. In 2012, filmmaker Emir Kusturica began construction of an ethno-town in eastern Bosnia that is named after Andrić. As Yugoslavia's only Nobel Prize-winning writer, Andrić was well known and respected in his native country during his lifetime. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, beginning in the 1950s and continuing past the breakup of Yugoslavia, his works have been disparaged by Bosniak literary critics for their supposed anti-Muslim bias. In Croatia, his works had occasionally been blacklisted following Yugoslavia's dissolution in the 1990s, but were rehabilitated by the literary community. He is highly regarded in Serbia for his contributions to Serbian literature.

Ovako kada su skoro sve priče na jednom mjestu možeš da uhvatiš taj posebni duh našeg naroda koji je Andrić uspio da uhvati i da ga opiše, kao i sve promjene u njegovom pisanju. Prepoznatljive su faze pa čak možda i njegove lične promjene.
