Description
Devil’s Yard by Ivo Andrić is a powerful allegorical novella set within the walls of a grim Ottoman prison in Istanbul. The story revolves around Fra Petar, a Franciscan monk, who is arrested without cause and thrown into the infamous “Devil’s Yard.” There, he encounters a diverse group of prisoners, each carrying their own burdens of guilt, innocence, and fate. The prison itself becomes a metaphor for life under tyranny, where suspicion, fear, and injustice rule. Through Fra Petar’s observations and conversations, Andrić explores themes of freedom, conscience, morality, and the resilience of the human spirit. Written with Andrić’s characteristic clarity and depth, the book blends historical insight with universal philosophical reflection.
