Summary/Abstract: Regardless of how many previous attempts there have been to interpret Andrić’s literary work, especially his stories, one is nevertheless faced with a series of ostensible and real doubts and difficulties at the very start, even if they are only unpretentiously attempting to reshape existing observations without trying to discover new insights. Both old and new devotees of Andrić’s storytelling will have difficulty in establishing their own hermeneutical circle, independent of previous interpretations, since many ideas and analytical viewpoints (many but not all, for Andrić’s work comprises endless possibilities and readings) might seem original and just their own, but the true moment of their birth took place much earlier, somewhere on the pages of libraries of books and studies devoted to our great author. And these libraries are growing bigger with each day.
