Commentary Supposing Books Prokleta avlija

Prokleta avlija/The Damned Yard (Description from Ivo Andrić Foundation website) The novel is written in 1954. Ćamil, a wealthy young man of Smyrna living in the last years of the Ottoman Empire, is fascinated by the story of Džem, ill-fated brother of the Sultan Bajazet, who ruled Turkey in the fifteenth century. Ćamil, in his isolation, comes to believe that he is Džem, and that he shares his evil destiny: he is born to be a victim of the State. Because of his stories about Džem’s ambitions to overthrow his brother, Ćamil is arrested under suspicion of plotting against the Sultan. He is taken to a prison in Istanbul, where he tells his story, to Petar, a monk. Out of these exotic materials, Andrić has constructed a book of great clarity, brevity and interest. No doubt it will be read by some as a political parable about the tyranny of the State, but also as a quite simply story about ill-fortune and human misunderstanding, fear and ignorance. Džem and Ćamil are doomed – and the certainty of their persecution is sometimes relieved, sometimes intensified by the stupidity and fright of the people who cross their ill-starred lives. Construction takes up most of the book’s space: the central story of Džem as related by Ćamil lasts only a chapter or two. For the rest of the time the reader strips layer off layer, as one narrator passes him on the next. There is an interesting passage that helps to explain this method, at the moment when Ćamil starts narrating Džem’s story in the first person. “I” is a word, we are told, which fixes the position of the speaker in such a way that the exercise of will is no longer possible, and the speaker strength is exceeded – strength, presumably, to break out of the identification that all his past actions and thoughts force upon him when he uses the word. “I” is both a confession and an imprisonment. The fact that the novel passes the reader on from one narrator to the next rather suggests that the author is taking constant evasive action, lest he betray himself or his reader into the kind of “personal confession” which seals the fate of Ćamil. What exactly this game of form flirting with meaning signifies, must be left to the individual reader. The movement is centripetal, towards Džem’s story, and then disperses. Details within the story are made to mimic this form. Thus when Peter receives the message telling him of his impending release: “Two younger prisoners...were chasing around using him as the centerpoint of ever narrowing circles. Annoyed, he tried to break away from these exuberant youths when one of them brushed against him and he felt a folded scrap of paper thrust into his hand. The youths continued their chase but now in widening circles...” The reader is led on just such a chase in the course of the novel. The effect of this is to make the plot seem more like a poetic image than an ordinary plot: capable, therefore, of as many meanings as are the images of an allusive poem. Yet the language is simple and direct, not at all “poetic”. The characters are remarkable alive, even in conversation. Karađoz, the governor of the goal, is a spidery authoritarian, who loves to torment the charges he loves. The prisoners “complained about the way one complains about one’s life and curses one’s destiny...it would have been hard for them to imagine life without him”. “The Devil’s Yard” is justified, as all symbolic and figurative novels must be, by the extent to which it touches the emotions. It is extremely moving. Fear, horror, despair, amusement at times – all these indicate that the threat of the meaning has been recognized.

Judgment Of Books Prokleta avlija
I! - potent word, which in the eyes of those before whom it is spoken determines our place, fatefully and immutable, often far beyond or behind what we know about ourselves, beyond our will and above our strength. A terrible word which, once spoken, links us and identifies us with all that we have imagined and said, with which we never dreamed of identifying ourselves, but with which we have in fact, in ourselves, long been one.

What is left after a man dies?People engaged in computing the estate of a dead man who, only a couple of days ago, was as alive as they are now, have a peculiar look. They represent victorious life, which goes its own way and has its own necessities. But, victors of a pretty poor sort, their only merit consists in their having outlived the dead. They remind one of looters, but looters who are sure to go scot free and who know that the rightful owner can never return and catch them. Not that they

This book was ok, nothing more. A couple of men, a clergyman, a Jew and a Turk of Greek heritage meet in prison and tell get to know their lives' stories. They're sad, and end up tragically: the Turk presumably passes away and the Jew gets a mental illness. However, that's it. The style is very conservative and fits well with the little boring plot. Similarly to "the Bridge over the Drina", where the bridge is the main character, in this book it is the prison. There's no real metaphoric

I'm honestly angry at myself for not reading this sooner. I don't know why I avoided this book, because once I started, I finished by the end of the day (that may have also been because I really had to read it for school very quickly). Quite short, but still a fascinating read.

Am..well..somehow local...

The book "Devil's Yard" is about a Serbian man's experience in a Turkish prison. The book is pretty slow and philosophical. While reading this I was reminded how formulaic prison books and movies are. In this story a man friends and newly incarcerated intellectual who is innocent (sound familiar) and the two grow a strong bond and try to survive the harsh conditions set by the corrupt warden.I feel like the writing of Andric is lost in translation and it is not his own translation. Some of the

Prokleta Avlija (the Damned Yard) will be a great source of pleasure to anyone who has read and enjoyed Ivo Andric's Bosnian Trilogy (comprised of the Bridge on the Drina, the Woman from Sarajevo and the Bosnian Chronicles). However, if one has not read at least the first volume (the Bridge on the Drina), Prokleta Avlija will be a confusing and highly disappointing work.Prokleta Avlija is a collection of five tales in which Brother Peter an elderly Franciscan monk imparts his wisdom gained from
