Ahmed's Silence

By Alija Prošić

THIS BOOK IS IN ENGLISH

Translated from Bosnian

What remains when war tears apart children who grew up together?

Ahmed is a boy from Srebrenica whose voice becomes the loudest condemnation of human madness. This story follows the lives of ordinary people through years of growing up, closeness, and loss-through everyday life where existence constantly breaks between hope and fear. The war that overtakes them does not choose or explain: it separates friendships that knew no boundaries and forces people to find themselves on opposite sides of events they never wanted or understood.

Ahmed's Silence is a work of fiction born at the crossroads of imagination and reality. The characters and dialogues are products of the author's imagination, but the world in which they move is shaped according to the real fates of people who lived in pre-war and wartime Srebrenica.

This story does not seek answers in condemnation, but in memory and what has survived among people. The novel bears witness to the truth of one time-as it was etched into the lives of those who had to carry it.

For those who want to understand what it means to be human when everything around you falls apart.
