Synopsis
Isaac Babel stories often address the conflict between his desire to remain true to his Jewish roots and his desire to be free of them. This conflict is reflected in the dual nature of the stories collected here. While many are set in the world of the Russian Jews; others are from the cycle of stories entitled "Red Cavalry," which is based on Babel's experiences in a Cossack regiment during the Russian Civil War.

Industry Reviews
"Isaac Babel was a man who hit one in the belly....His prose is sharp and laconic."
V. S. Pritchett
"To Babel, literature was the true life, and the curiosity needed to pursue it involved a deliberate risk....In seeking out war for literary purposes, Babel reminds me of Stephen Crane without Crane's perfect detachment, or of Hemingway without the romantic pathos."
New York Review of Books - Alfred Kazin
