A newselection of Isaac Babel’s 26 most vital and beautiful stories, in acclaimedtranslations by Boris Dralyuk
IsaacBabel honed one of the most distinctive styles in all Russian conversational one moment, dreamily lyrical the next, his storiesexult in the richness of everyday speech and sensual pleasure only to beshaken by brutal jolts of violence.
These stories take us from the underworld of Babel’s native Odessa, city ofgangsters and lowlives, of drunken brawls and bleeding sunsets, to the terrorand absurdity of life as a soldier in the Polish-Soviet War.
Selected and translatedby the prize-winning Boris Dralyuk, this collection captures the irreverence,passion and coarse beauty of Babel’s singular voice.
