Description
'Collected Stories' by Isaac Babel brings together the short fiction of one of twentieth-century Russia's most distinctive writers. The collection includes stories from his celebrated 'Odessa Tales' and 'Red Cavalry', as well as later works, portraying Jewish life in Odessa, the violence of the Russian Civil War and the contradictions of life under revolution. Babel's prose is renowned for its vivid imagery, compressed style and striking mixture of lyricism, irony and brutality. This Penguin edition, translated by David McDuff and first published in 1994, offers a modern English translation of Babel's powerful and often unsettling stories.
