The Reader's Catalog
Some of Babel's best stories, including the Red Cavalry series and Tales of Odessa. Terse and violent, they present an ironic and stylized view of the Russian Civil War

The Word On The Street
"A talent and great energy and boldness." —Lionel Trilling

"Isaac Babel was a man who hit one in the belly. More important he had -- what is indespensable to short stories -- a distinct voice.... His prose is sharp and laconic." —V S. Pritchett
