Summary/Abstract: In this paper particular attention is paid to the narrative techniques of Ivo Andrić, the author who through his writing created a literary encyclopaedia of life in the Balkans. The multiplicity of his narrative art is also recognised in the interfusion of the present and the past, of the oneiric and the real, the referential and the poetic, whereat the most recognisable characteristic of the author’s creative process is the conciseness of telling. Through an analytical overview of certain works, particular attention is paid to the function of telling stories which, according to Andrić’s words, contain the real history of humanity.
