Set in the city of Travnik, Bosnian Chronicle presents the struggle for supremacy in a region that stubbornly refuses to submit to any outsider. The era is Napoleonic and the novel, both in its historical scope and psychological subtlety, Tolstoyan. In its portrayal of conflict and fierce ethnic loyalties, the story is also eerily relevant. Ottoman viziers, French consuls, and Austrian plenipotentiaries are consumed by an endless game of diplomacy and double-dealing: expansive and courtly face-to-face, brooding and scheming behind closed doors. Because they have for years and years, the Bosnians themselves observe and endure the machinations of greater powers that vie, futilely, to soak up them. Ivo Andric's masterwork is imbued with the richness and complexity of a region that has brought a great deal tragedy to your century and known so little peace.
