Sabrana djela II: Travnička hronika

Ivo Andrić

"Travnička hronika" is a novel by Ivo Andrić, first published in 1945. This work belongs to the author's so-called Bosnian cycle and provides a broad picture of historical, cultural and political circumstances in Bosnia during the Ottoman and Austrian rul

The novel is a chronicle of events in Travnik, then the seat of the Bosnian vizier, during the period from 1806 to 1814.

The novel is set in Travnik, at a time of complex political turmoil when the Ottoman Empire, Napoleonic France and the Habsburg Monarchy were fighting for influence in the Balkans. At the center of the story are two foreign consuls - French consul Jean Daville and Austrian consul Joseph von Mitterer - who come to Travnik with their families and interact with the local population, authorities and culture.

Daville and Mitterer, with their contrasting personalities and political goals, strive to win the favor of the Vizier and exercise political influence. Their arrival symbolizes the entry of the West into the closed world of Bosnia. Consuls and the local population often come into conflict due to cultural differences, political intrigues and different interests. Travnik is depicted as a place where different worlds overlap - Ottoman, Western European and local Bosnian.

With changes in global politics, there is a withdrawal of consuls and the end of their missions in Travnik. Their departure symbolizes the transience of political and historical events, while Bosnia remains in its cyclical state.

"Travnička hronika" is written in the form of a chronicle, with a narrator who describes historical events from a distance and objectivity. The novel stands out for its rich language, detailed descriptions and psychological depth of the characters. Through the story of the past, Andrić considers universal themes that are relevant even in the modern age.
