The Bridge Over the Drina Review: the story of a bridge - I did not even know where the Drina was and that it had for 300 years a huge bridge. Ivo Andric narrates the building of and the happenings on the bridge from the time of its inception by an Istambul vizir (born near it), and some of the more interesting characters, up the first World War. It is a steady book, well written and unusual. Very rarely, a novel goes on for so long in terms of time in the novel. Andric has done a good job on it. Review: Excellent book, though I'm not sure I'd categorize it ... - Excellent book, though I'm not sure I'd categorize it as a novel. Beyond the introduction to Bosnian history and the development of the ethno-religious conflicts in the region, this is a powerful literary work in its own right. One could quibble about the structure of the book which purports to cover three hundred years of the bridge's and the people's history, but which in truth engages more in a spiritual description of the growth and, in some sense, the destruction of a collective spirit. This leads to the fragmentation of the community, even though, ironically, this occurs within the context of empire building, first by the Ottomans and then by Austria-Hungary.

A very good read ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well written, and fascinating background to history *by D***. on July 3, 2013* In 1981 my wife and I toured Yugoslavia for three weeks, during the course of which we stopped overnight in Visegrad. We saw the bridge and heard about Ivo Andric and his Nobel prize novel about the bridge. We learned about the complex relationships between ethnic and religious groups in that beautiful and fascinating country. The tour was one of the most interesting we ever had, and gave us an insight into cultures we had previously had little knowledge of. Whenever I thought back to that wonderful vacation, I always said to myself that I must read Andric's book, but never got around to searching it out until now. I still haven't quite finished it, but am thoroughly enjoying The Bridge Over the Drina. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/78872733-the-bridge-over-the-drina](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/78872733-the-bridge-over-the-drina) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
