Signs by the Roadside

Autor: Ivo Andrić

Only what has not been given a form or a name endures, that which has never left the infinite and eternal landscape of non-existence.In the form of a journal, Andrić’s Signs by the Roadside is a series of short texts that can be written in the course of a single day, reflecting the writer’s mood at the time, opinion on a particular topic or person, an impression from a trip or a thought that preoccupied him. Kept for many years and written in no particular order, these notes were compiled by the writer in a book which became the mirror of his soul, and not merely a journal.
