Özet:

A worldwide known Serbian writer Ivo Andric’s Drina Bridge which has been translated into numerous languages is a historical panorama of her homeland Bosnia Herzegovina and its culture that extends about four centuries as well as its literary/ aesthetic value. As she did in her prior narration, in order to bright light to the historical past of not only Bosnia Herzegovinian but also other Balkan folks beginning with Ottoman sovereignty and going on Austria-Hungary empery, Andric again integrated her artistic observation ability with her social scientist attention with a relatively objective point of view through a story in a town called Visegrad. In this novel written with a historical attention and documentary manner, there are a great many of data including political, social and cultural history of this region. In this review, thanks to cultural background of novel, it is laid emphasis on general Ottoman perception/impression in the novel from the viewpoint of the writer who is also Balkan. As we tracked down aforesaid perception, we pursued the comparative expression manner of the writer-narrator, therefore the Ottoman perception that we got is generally tried to explain through a correlation about Austria. As a result, in this novel owing to historical events it has been observed that there is a more optimistic/positive Ottoman perception in comparison with Austria and the West perception
