This is a wonderful book about people and their lifes that are influenced not only by other people but by the bridge that conects West and East and still stands today. Everything in lives of these people involves around the bridge, weddings, funerals, summers and winters. The most wonderful portrayal of how a single object can mean a life to people. The main point is that bridges conect the people and cultures.Book Review: Masterpiece of literature

Book Review: Bosnian Heartbreaking History
Summary: 5 Stars
Reading this book is a must if you want to deepen your understanding of the Otoman-Empire-time Bosnia and its people. The only Serbian Nobel Prize winner, Ivo Andric, is a master of story telling. His sometimes very graphic descriptions help you travel back in time and live through the events with his characters.Book Review: Worthy
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Andric wrote a masterpiece. I purchased and read this little gem during the Balkan crisis of the 90's and quickly purchased and read The Bosnian Chronicles. Of the two, this book is far superior. For a translation, the language is persuasive and compelling. Very highly recommended.
