Abstract
Starting with Erich Fromm's thesis on love from his seminal work The Art of Loving (1956), the paper tries to show the way in which Fromm's psycho-biological concept of love is represented differently in different historical formations in Andrić's historical novel The Bridge on the Drina (1945). A brief analysis of the three love relations from Andrić's novel reveals the process of the appearance of the concept of modern love, the moment in which love ceases to be a social instancje and becomes an individual act.
