The dervish, a figure whirling at the edge of both the religious and political worlds of the time (in each of which he plays a role), is forced to compromise himself in his efforts to free his brother, destroying his best friend's life -- as well as his own, in many respects.

 Book Review - Death and the Dervish (Mesa Selimovic)
Death and the Dervish Mesa Selimovic translated from the Serbo-Croatian Northwestern University Press 1996 473 pages A book review by Danny Yee http://dannyreviews.com/h/Death_Dervish.html Ahmed Nuruddin is the _sheikh_ of a _tekke_, the head of a small religious order in a town in Ottoman Bosnia.
At forty, he is a settled and respected member of the community, until pushed onto a new path by successive shocks: the arrest of his brother and an encounter with a fugitive from justice.
(Parts of the story were inspired by events in Selimovic's own life and in the modern history of Yugoslavia.) Nuruddin is not an anti-hero, but he is a man profoundly troubled, a thinker rather than a doer, ill-equipped for the challenges he faces.

 Death and the Dervish (Mesa Selimovic) - book review
But his quandries are universal: Death and the Dervish is an evocation of Ottoman Bosnia, of a world now past, but above all the story of an individual struggling to find himself and maintain his integrity and dignity in a hostile political landscape.

Death and the Dervish is a masterpiece, a compelling psychological study and a spell-binding novel which approaches poetry in the intensity of its language.
