About this product
Product Information
'Everyone makes mistakes, even God.' In the original Odessa Stories collection published in 1931, Babel describes the life of the fictional Jewish mob boss Benya Krik - one of the great anti-heroes of Russian literature - and his gang in the ghetto of Moldavanka, around the time of the October Revolution. Praised by Maxim Gorky and considered one of the great masterpieces of twentieth-century Russian literature, this is the first ever stand-alone collection of all Babel's narratives set in the city, and includes the original stories as well as later tales.

Reviews
"These celebrated stories have never been rendered with the cutting flair Boris Dralyuk's new English translations impart to them. . . Babel's is an ebullient elegy, filled with violence, sex, and life" -- Los Angeles Review of Books "The salty speech of the city's inhabitants is wonderfully rendered in a new translation by Boris Dralyuk, who preserves the characters' Yiddishisms ("He doesn't talk much, but when he talks, you want he should keep talking") and imbues the dialogue with hard-boiled language reminiscent of Dashiell Hammett ("Buzz off, coppers... or we'll flatten you"). Although Babel mostly lets characters speak for themselves, the narrators' descriptions can be as luxurious as the stolen jewels given to Benya's sister on her wedding night, or as surprising as a slap in the face." -- Vice "Glorious stories by the incomparable Babel... This wonderful collection is a companion volume to Red Cavalry . Babel is required reading." - Eileen Battersby, Irish Times (Best Books of 2016) "One of those 'where have you been all my life?' books." -- Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian "Fine writing." -- East-West Review "The stories read wonderfully. Dralyuk has done an excellent job of capturing Babel's 'voice' and in particular of conveying the tone of Odessan Russian." -- Barry Scherr, Emeritus Professor of Russian, Dartmouth College "Electric, heroically wrought prose." -- John Updike "Aside from being a great writer, Babel stands as an emblem of the tragedy of 20th century totalitarianism... literary genius framed by 20th-century tragedy." -- New York Times "This is a wonderful, highly readable collection of stories." -- The London Magazine "His is still an original, sparky voice sounding out of the great Russian literary pantheon." -- Paddy Kehoe, RTE Arena "Sparkling, wily and loose-tongued... Babel's dialogue calls for a daring translator... Boris Dralyuk delivers brilliantly." -- Times Literary Supplement "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 "Lively and entertaining, wonderful written and gives a captivating yet poignant glimpse of a lost world. Plus it's a beautifully produced Pushkin edition - so what more could you want?" -- Kaggy's Bookish Ramblings blog

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
