Andrić’s (Magic) Realism in the Novel The Bridge on the Drina
Magic realism is more a stylistic formation than a particular genre with a tendency to understand the paradox of connecting the opposites. In other words, the concept of magic realism represents the intertwining of what is real and unreal, what is true and imaginary, and what is historical and mythical in the accelerated rhythm of narration. Consequently, the notion of magic realism is suitable for denoting the reality that arises from mythical foundations and in which nobody is surprised by the constant presence of the supernatural. Toward the end of the 1920s and 1930s, Croatian literature featured a renewal of the realistic novel with a distinct social function. Nevertheless, in relation to the tradition, this paper presents the deviations of the realistic novel such as Ivo Andrić’s The Bridge on the Drina (1945) and the tendency of aestheticizing narration and stylistic diversity that contribute to the complexity of the structure. Therefore, the opposition implied by magic realism manifests itself, on the one hand, in the construction of Andrić’s novel as the discovery of the collective consciousness and destiny of the aesthetic being of a nation on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the tragic historical circumstances that took place with the arrival of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and the departure of the Ottoman Empire (between East and West), as well as in the revelation of the myth’s significance and demythologizing the past. On the other hand, it manifests itself in the construction of a critical work that, with the lucid consciousness of a European intellectual, perceives the entire development of the national being. In doing so, Andrić’s novel justifies the vision of magic realism set by Latin American writers whose magic was not the product of a random or spontaneous, but a culturally determined choice.
