Awarded the Nobel Prize in literature, BOSNIAN CHRONICLE is Ivo Andric's greatest achievement. A Tolstoyan epic that tells us more about the Balkans than a dozen history books. When Napoleon's newly appointed consul arrives in the small town of Travnik, he soon finds himself intriguing against his Austrian and Turkish rivals, whilst dealing with a confusing cast of Bosnian notables, Catholic priests, Jewish merchants and Muslim farmers.
