DOMAĆI KLASICI

Роман Проклятый двор (1954) считается пи сательским шедевром. К центральному, историческому сюжету XI века, повествующему о трагичной судьбе Джем-султана, Андрич читателя ведет через посредников, выстраивая сложную линию взаимосвязанных судеб.

Всех протагонистов Проклятого двора, несмотря на их различия, объединяет опыт тюрьмы, поэтому они, хоть и бессознательно, ощущают мир как тесное, ограниченное пространство.
Тюрьма – это средоточие зла империи, переживающей падение, но волей судьбы, здесь оказываются и люди, лишь немногим отличающиеся от остальных, а тюремная жизнь похожа на внешний мир: она тянется, не обращая внимания на судьбы людей, ее создающих.

Anika’s Times (1931) is a story of the rebellion and defiance of Anika, a courtesan who, with her libertine and unrestrained behavior, wreaks havoc in the town of Višegrad. Her lavish beauty and the audacity with which she opposes the petty-bourgeois order make her one of Andrić’s most interesting and tragic heroines. A self-imposed outcast from society, she has the courage and strength to endure the consequences of her decisions, embarking on a final path of suffering. After the upheaval that Anika caused at the Višegrad Bazaar, life slowly gets back to normal, but the story of the shortlived flare of her extraordinary beauty and the tragic consequences of her choices grows intoa legend that inspired the writer to write one of his best short stories.

“The Pasha’s Concubine” (1926) is one of Ivo Andrić’s finest novellas. This is a story about a beautiful, young and unfortunate Christian girl called Mara, who was forced into concubinage for a Turkish pasha during his service in Sarajevo. Unprotected and without family support, she spent some time in Veli pasha’s house, where he used her for his own pleasure, until he left the town and abandoned her, leaving her alone, humiliated and despised. Rejected by society, Mara was destined to an unhappy fate in a cruel and inhospitable world. Mara is one of Andrić’s heroines whose fatal beauty causes their ill fortune.

Roman Na sunčanoj strani značajan je i kao piščev pokušaj da ličnu biografiju pretvori u roman i tako naratizuje raspoloženja i dileme iz pesama u prozi Ex Ponto i Nemiri i da dramatizuje svoja nekadašnja tamnička iskustva na pripovedački složeniji način i manje biografski prepoznatljiv. To mu, izgleda, nije pošlo za rukom, zbog čega je i odustao od pisanja romana (…) Roman Na sunčanoj strani bio je, dakle, u svakom pogledu, različit od pripovedaka koje je Andrić objavio u tri knjige dvadesetih i tridesetih godina 20. veka.

Sa stanovišta evolutivnog kriterijuma, „roman“ Na sunčanoj strani predstavlja most na prelazu Andrićeve lirske faze u epsku. Prema mnogim obeležjima, ta proza čini se bliža Andrićevom ranom delu. Tu je reč o premeštanju lirskog subjekta u jednu epsku proceduru/postupak, sa namerom da se formira celovit romaneskni karakter. Svojom lirskom osnovom, lik Tome Galusa kao da nije mogao da se uspostavi kao faktor romaneskne celine. Stoga bi on možda mogao da se shvati i kao jedna vrsta svesne žrtve poetičkog i stvaralačkog sazrevanja svoga tvorca.
