Sabrana djela XVI: Znakovi pored puta

Sabrana djela XVI: Znakovi pored puta

Ivo Andrić

"Signs on the side of the road" are not a confession or a chronology of a life, but fragments of a life and spiritual struggle. It is a collection of wisdom that from generation to generation is a favorite reading to which readers are always happy to retu

Spontaneity and non-obligation are the main features of this spiritual diary, which encompasses a wide spectrum of life and multiple realities as they overflow in the sensitive poetic consciousness. Roadside signs revealed an unknown form of Andrić's activity and pointed to a new reading of the writer's other works. The book contains incidental notes, diary notes, impressions on the occasion of an event or meeting, travel notes, sketches for portraits, motifs that will later be elaborated in one of the writer's larger prose works. We can consider that these empirical-reflexive shorter texts are written in the style of fragments, therefore many of them represent true pearls of wisdom that remind us of the thoughts of the world's greatest thinkers.

In Signs on the Road, we find that Andrić was most often occupied with thoughts about man, life and death, woman and love, about literature and art, about words, the writing process and the writer's task, the Balkan countries and the countries of advanced Europe. These books of wisdom, a type of intimate diaries, which Andrić wrote throughout his life, are considered unique in our literature and therefore because the writer spoke unequivocally about himself in them for the first time. Andrić's last published books symbolically round off the writer's oeuvre, as they both formally and substantively touch on Ex Ponto and Nemire, collections of prose poems of a confessional character that introduced the writer to literature.
