The book that changed my mind Ivo Andrić’s The Bridge on the Drina.

Reading Andrić, however, made me realise how the story changes depending on who tells it.

You have to read history like Balkan Ghosts by Robert Kaplan, you should read a few novels, read TheBridge on the Drina by Ivo Andrić,

They sit at the heart of Andrićgrad, a tourist-trap pastiche of a traditional Serbian town, recently built in tribute to Višegrad’s most famous son, Nobel-prize winning author Ivo Andrić.

The novel, The Bridge Over The River Drina, by Nobel Literature Laureate Ivo Andrić is very highly recommended as a means of understanding the extremely turbulent narrative of the region, and because it is one of world literature’s great masterpiece.
