Sabrana djela IX: Deca - pripovetke

Ivo Andrić

This collection includes a series of stories that focus on the world of children, their innocence, curiosity, suffering and dealing with the cruelties of the adult world.

The works in this collection often reflect Andrić's deep insights into human nature, and through the perspective of children, the writer explores universal themes such as growing up, injustice, social relations and the transience of life.

Stories are often told through the eyes of children or focused on their destinies, showing how children experience the world of adults. Through a child's perspective, Andrić shows the purity, but also the vulnerability of life.

Significant short stories in the collection:

  1. Children The title story describes the world of children and their play, but also shows the first encounters with the harsh realities of the world of adults. Sadness and nostalgia for childhood pervade this story, while the emotions that shape a person are explored.
  2. Carpet The story of a boy who makes an important decision regarding the family rug, a symbol of tradition and responsibility. It explores the conflict between childhood innocence and adult expectations.
  3. In the dungeon The depiction of a child observing the world of adults through prison bars, which symbolizes the limitations of freedom and the injustice that affects not only adults, but also children.
  4. Barracks A story about children's play in an old shack that reflects creativity and imagination, but also children's tendency to create worlds outside of reality.
  5. Tower Through the symbolism of the tower, Andrić shows children's fascination with the unknown and mystical, as well as their first steps towards understanding the world.

The collection "Children" is one of Andrić's most emotional and tender works, which deeply immerses him in the world of childhood and contrasts it with the reality of adults. This work leaves a strong impression on the reader and reminds of the importance of understanding children's feelings and destinies.
