	Ivo Andric
		Ivo Andric was born in the village of Trávnik in Bosnia (then in the Austro-Hungarian Empire), into a middle-class family.
		Andric's earliest literary efforts were several poems in an anthology, translations of Walt Whitman and of August Strindberg, and two collections of prose poems, EX PONTO (1918) and NEMIRI (1920).
		Andric structured the novel as a series of vignettes, each one presenting some aspect of life in the town from the time of the bridge's construction to its partial destruction at the outbreak of World War I. The author's personal history also is closely associated with the bridge connecting East and West.

	Ivo Andric Revisited: The Bridge Still Stands
		Ivo Andric won the 1961 Nobel Prize for Literature for an extraordinary body of fiction and poetry rooted in the politics and cultural history of the Balkans.
		Andric drew on his formal studies, political activism, diplomatic career, and extended residence in Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia to explore the human links that have united the region, to argue that conflict is not inevitable, and to lay the basis for a unified Yugoslavia.
		Today, Andric is claimed by all Yugoslavs as their greatest literary figure, but tragically missing the point of his work, often criticized by each group for not championing its own particular cause.

	andric ivo - the bridge on the drina
		Born in Bosnia, Ivo Andric (1892-1975) was a distinguished diplomat and novelist.
		The common perception of Ivo Andric as a Bosnian writer (and one who focused on by-gone times of Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian occupation) probably limits his popularity unfairly, causing him to be perceived as a writer of parochial concerns.
		Ivo Andric was a catholic who said that he was born Croat but saw himself as a Yugoslav, but would always be a Serb at heart.

	The Bridge on the Drina (Ivo Andric)
		Ivo Andric was born a Bosnian Serb in 1892, and grew up first in Sarajevo, where his father was a silversmith, and then, after his father died, in Visegrad, where his mother's father worked as a carpenter.
		In his youth, during the Austrian annexation of Bosnia-Hercegovina, Andric attended the great Hapsburg centers of learning -- Vienna, Zagreb, Graz and Cracow -- but during WWI his nationalist political activity caused him to be arrested by the Austrians and put in an internment camp for three years.
		By this time, Andric had moved away from the linguistic nationalism he championed in his youth towards pan-slavic sympathies: he seems to point to a coming cultural transformation that would transcend Bosnia's sectarian and ethnic divisions.

	Of Bogomils, Race, and Ivo Andric by Michael Sells, 7/3/96
		Andric's disseration was composed in German and presented to the Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy at Karl Franz University in Graz, Austria on May 14, 1924 under the title Die Entwicklung des geistigen Lebens in Bosnien unter der Einwirkung der trkischen Herrschaft.
		Andric finds a historical rationale for such exclusion in the belief that the Slavs who converted to Islam were primarily Bogomil heretics from the Bosnian Church.
		Andric is claimed as a hero by both Croat nationalists (he was born to a Croat family) and Serb nationalists (he later identified himself with Serbs).
