Priča o kmetu Simanu

by Ivo Andrić

Priča o kmetu Simanu je pripovetka Ive Andrića objavljena u delu „Priča o kmetu Simanu i druge pripovetke”. Kada bi radnju priče smestili u današnje vreme mogli bismo reći da je ovde reč o sukobu radnika i današnjeg poslodavca. Radnja pripovetke je smeštena u 1878. godinu, kada su austrijske trupe ušle u Sarajevo. Andrić je u pripovetci kroz kmeta Simana, opisao sve one kojima je nešto oduzeto, a kroz agu Ibraga Kološa predstavio je sve one koji su nešto oteli, izurpirali i sada kao da je to njihovo bilo vekovno, polažu pravo na to. Kmet Siman predstavlja sve one napaćene radnike koje šefovi svakodnevno na poslu zakidaju, a oni, radi očuvanja plate i golog života, moraju da čute i trpe. Vekovna borba između kmetova i turskih feudalaca kroz sukob kmeta Simana Vaskovića i age Ibraga Kološa, napisana je kao podsetnik da se i danas ništa nije promenilo, iako više nema kmetova i feudalaca.

About the author

Ivo Andrić (Serbian Cyrillic: Иво Андрић; born Ivan Andrić) was a Yugoslav novelist, poet and short story writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1961. His writings dealt mainly with life in his native Bosnia under Ottoman rule.
Born in Travnik in Austria-Hungary, modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, Andrić attended high school in Sarajevo, where he became an active member of several South Slav national youth organizations. Following the assassination of Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand in June 1914, Andrić was arrested and imprisoned by the Austro-Hungarian police, who suspected his involvement in the plot. As the authorities were unable to build a strong case against him, he spent much of the war under house arrest, only being released following a general amnesty for such cases in July 1917. After the war, he studied South Slavic history and literature at universities in Zagreb and Graz, eventually attaining his PhD. in Graz in 1924. He worked in the diplomatic service of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia from 1920 to 1923 and again from 1924 to 1941. In 1939, he became Yugoslavia's ambassador to Germany, but his tenure ended in April 1941 with the German-led invasion of his country. Shortly after the invasion, Andrić returned to German-occupied Belgrade. He lived quietly in a friend's apartment for the duration of World War II, in conditions likened by some biographers to house arrest, and wrote some of his most important works, including Na Drini ćuprija (The Bridge on the Drina).
Following the war, Andrić was named to a number of ceremonial posts in Yugoslavia, which had since come under communist rule. In 1961, the Nobel Committee awarded him the Nobel Prize in Literature, selecting him over writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Frost, John Steinbeck and E.M. Forster. The Committee cited "the epic force with which he ... traced themes and depicted human destinies drawn from his country's history". Afterwards, Andrić's works found an international audience and were translated into a number of languages. In subsequent years, he received a number of awards in his native country. Andrić's health declined substantially in late 1974 and he died in Belgrade the following March.
In the years following Andrić's death, the Belgrade apartment where he spent much of World War II was converted into a museum and a nearby street corner was named in his honour. A number of other cities in the former Yugoslavia also have streets bearing his name. In 2012, filmmaker Emir Kusturica began construction of an ethno-town in eastern Bosnia that is named after Andrić. As Yugoslavia's only Nobel Prize-winning writer, Andrić was well known and respected in his native country during his lifetime. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, beginning in the 1950s and continuing past the breakup of Yugoslavia, his works have been disparaged by Bosniak literary critics for their supposed anti-Muslim bias. In Croatia, his works had occasionally been blacklisted following Yugoslavia's dissolution in the 1990s, but were rehabilitated by the literary community. He is highly regarded in Serbia for his contributions to Serbian literature.

26 Ekim 1961’de Nobel kazanan İvo Andriç, ödülü alırken yaptığı konuşmada özgürce hikâye anlatan hikâyecilerden söz etmiş: “Mümkün olduğu kadar kişioğlunun değişik yazgısına inmek, kişioğlunun ruhunu hareket halinde ama yüce bir seygiyle, görülür bir aydınlıkla anlatmak gerekir.” Özgür bir anlayışla insanın alınyazısını kaleme alınca ortaya doyumsuz hikâyeler çıkıyor. Bu kitaptan çıkan sonuç bu.

Ali kada je izbor za jezik u Bosni i Sarajevu, na kojem će biti napisan dotični dokument, onda to može biti samo srpski ili njemački...

Ivo Andric 1961 yılında "Drina Köprüsü" romanıyla Nobel almış Sırp bir yazar. Irgat Siman'da üç öyküsü var. Covid19 salgını nedeniyle kafamı toparlayamadığım için olsa gerek kitabı bitirmem çok zaman aldı. Dolayısıyla öyküde anlatılanı unutup "şu kahraman kimdi " diye geriye dönmem gerekti. Bu yüzden olsa gerek kitaptan soğudum. Hakkını vermek için belki daha sonra yine okumak gerekli.

İçinde yazarın farklı zamanlarda yazmış olduğu kısa hikayeler ve kitabın sonunda da sürgünden notları yer almakta. Hikayeler ağırlıklı olarak karamsar diyebilirim ancak buna rağmen merak uyandırıcı. Genel olarak tarihi bilgi vermemekle birlikte yazarın yaşadığı dönemde geçen tarihi olayların etkilerini hikayelerinde görebilirsiniz.
