Иво Андрић је овим романом подигао непролазни споменик Босни и свим њеним становницима (без обзира на религију и статус).
Кроз причу о страним конзулима, Андрић провлачи и слику о овдашњим људима, обичајима, навикама и заблудама. Али и о томе како "цивилизован свет" види овдашње буре барута. Очински, на моменте строго, али у суштини врло добронамерно даје слику овог поднебља.
Најупечатљивији ми је лик француског конзула Давила - његова психолошка карактеризација, његови унутрашњи сукоби и размишљања су сјајно пренети. И други ликови су одлично осенчени, тако да се врло лако човек саживи са њима, било да су му мрски или пак, драги.
Реченица је избрушена, тече природно, са сваким придевом, речцом, знаком интерпункције на свом месту. Маестрално.

At times it drags, at times it flies. It is a fascinating look at a difficult place (Travnik) during the napoleonic wars.

dennisfischman's review against another edition

4.0

This is a nineteenth-century novel in style, written in the twentieth century, about a place that's become very important to twenty-first century politics. A new French consul arrives, representing the government of Napoleon. His arrival and that of the Austrian consul shortly after ward stir up the community of Travnik, Bosnia, and we see how the Muslims, Jews, Catholics, and Orthodox Christians, the doctors and peasants and confidence men all react. Along the way, we meet a curious collection of characters. This is no action-adventure novel. It's all about personalities and relationships. If you enjoy that kind of writing, then you will enjoy Bosnian Chronicle.

Ivo Andrić is one of those writers who hasn't written a bad book or bad sentence.

Comecei este "A Crónica de Travnik" com algumas expectativas (depois de ter lido "A Ponte sobre o Drina") o que talvez tenha influenciado pela negativa a minha experiência. Achei o livro demasiado longo, muitas vezes debruçando-se sobre personagens sem qualquer interesse ou impacto na narrativa. Apesar disso, a escrita é cativante e ficamos com vontade de saber o que vai acontecer a seguir ao nosso cônsul.
