Summary/Abstract: This paper analysis of the novel Dervish and Death by Bosnian writer Meša Selimović. The paper will talk ab out the“ command of friendship“ (Aristotle) with an emphasis on the realtion of friendship between two antipodes in novel: Ahmed Nurudin ̶ Hasan. Friendship occupies a special place in the analysis and interpretation of this novel and it appears in several different forms and relationships. The social community in which the action of the novel is set encodes and defines the role of being in the community, therefore the work will also deal with the analysis of being placed and being a subject in the context of a repressively organized community: questioning the correlation between the image of society (kasaba as parable) and the (non) existence of friendship. Used literature focuses on the idea of friendships as defined by Aristotle in Nicomachean Ethics and parts of his other works, such as Politics, as well as works that are dealing with the interpretation of Aristotele’s work, such as Vucetics „Friendship in Aristotle’s Philosophy“ and Ottoman’s „Friendship of Citizens“.
