The Complete Works of Isaac Babel by Isaac Babel
Requirements: Any epub or mobi reader, 924 KB , 1.33 MB
Overview: Considered one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century–and the most revered short-story writer since Chekhov–Isaac Babel (1894-1940) left an extraordinary literary legacy that continues to grow, remarkably, more than sixty years after his death in Lubyanka Prison at the hands of Stalin’s secret police. Despite Babel’s celebrated stature–which had already been achieved during his lifetime–the whole of his work, owing to his arrest and the state of affairs in the Soviet Union, was never assembled in one place.
This magnificent edition of Babel’s collected work fulfills a lifelong ambition of Babel’s daughter, Nathalie, who has authorized and edited the entire collection, and has collaborated with award-winning translator Peter Constantine in readying the work for publication. Every story or selection included in this volume (147 in total) has been newly edited and translated, beginning with Babel’s first published story, "Old Shloyme," originally published in 1913, and concluding with two scenes from a screenplay that Babel did not live to see made into a film. Included in The Complete Works are stories that will be familiar to Babel enthusiasts, like the "Red Cavalry" cycle and his diaries, as well as untranslated stories and other works that appear in English for the first time.
