The Slave Girl: and Other Stories About Women (CEU Press Classics) - Tapa blanda

This is a string of newly translated as well as already published stories by the classic Serbian author of the greatest significance in Eastern European literature. This volume includes numerous examples of the oppression of women and the disaster that ensues if any should defy the established rules. In addition to evoking this society, Andric has woven into it a more personal experience of the categories which society assigns to women.

Ivo Andric (1892-1975) was a novelist, short story writer, and awarded The Nobel Prize in Literature 1961 "for the epic force with which he has traced themes and depicted human destinies drawn from the history of his country".
