1961DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. OTTIMO ESEMPLARE: LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO ALLA SOVRACCOPERTA, LIEVISSIMA BRUNITURA. Alla confluenza di due mondi quello cristiano e quello musulmano sorge Visegrad, in Bosnia, da sempre città di incontro fra diverse razze, religioni e culture. Ed è qui che nel Cinquecento il visir Mehmed-pascià fece erigere un ponte, diventato un simbolo dell'oppressione perché costruito grazie alla fatica e ai sacrifici di molti cristiani , ma anche una testimonianza della fusione di due diversi mondi. Il ponte è il centro del romanzo di Andric: un grande affresco che va dal Cinquecento alla Prima guerra mondiale e che ha per sfondo una Bosnia romantica, con le sue complesse vicende storiche ma anche con i drammi quotidiani degli uomini che vi abitano. Andric si conferma interprete e commosso cantore di questa terra tormentata.
