# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Travnik in 1892, Andrić joined South Slav youth movements in Sarajevo and was arrested after Franz Ferdinand's assassination in 1914, spending much of the Great War under house arrest though authorities never proved his involvement in the plot. He earned a PhD in South Slavic literature, worked as a diplomat for the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and by 1939 was ambassador to Germany — a post that ended with the Nazi invasion in April 1941. He returned to German-occupied Belgrade and spent the war in a friend's apartment under conditions like confinement, writing *The Bridge on the Drina* and other works about life in Bosnia under Ottoman rule. In 1961 the Nobel Committee gave him the prize for literature, citing how he traced human destinies from his country's history. His health collapsed in late 1974 and he died in Belgrade the following March.
