A new selection of Isaac Babel's most vital and beautiful stories, in acclaimed
translations by Boris Dralyuk
'It is impossible to look at the world the same way after reading Babel... one
of the enduring jewels of 20th-century Russian literature' Financial Times
Isaac Babel honed one of the most distinctive styles in all Russian literature.
Brashly conversational one moment, dreamily lyrical the next, his stories exult
in the richness of everyday speech and sensual pleasure only to be shaken by
brutal jolts of violence.
These stories take us from the underworld of Babel's native Odessa, city of
gangsters and lowlives, of drunken brawls and bleeding sunsets, to the terror
and absurdity of life as a soldier in the Polish-Soviet War. Selected and
translated by the prize-winning Boris Dralyuk, this collection captures the
irreverence, passion and coarse beauty of Babel's singular voice.
