Over the span of 52 years some 267 of his works have been published in 33 languages. His doctoral dissertation, The Development of Spiritual Life in Bosnia under the Influence of Turkish Rule ('24), never before translated into English, sheds important light on the author's literary writings & must be taken into account in any current critical analysis of his work. Over his long & distinguished career as a diplomat & man of letters he never again so directly or discursively addressed, as a social historian, the impact of Turkish hegemony on the Bosnian people, a theme he returns to again & again in his novels. Altho his fiction was embedded in history, scholars know very little of his actual readings in history & have no other comparable treatment of it from his own pen. This dissertation abounds with topics he incorporated into his early stories & later novels, including a focus on the moral stresses & compromises within Bosnia's four religious confessions: Catholic, Orthodox, Jew & Muslim. Z.B. Juricic provides an extensive introduction describing the circumstances under which this work was written & situating it in Andric's oeuvre. John F. Loud's original bibliography drawn from this dissertation stands as the only comprehensive inventory of historical sources known to have been closely familiar to the author at this early stage in his development.
