Weights, measures, constants
In 1945, The Bridge on the Drina, by Ivo Andric, was published. In the novel, Andric (who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1961) tells a centuries-long tale of the Balkans and its tumultuous history — its fate linked to geography, at a crossroads between unsettled empires. For over 400 years, his bridge in Višegrad is a silent constant where children play, lovers meet, and old...
