'It is impossible to look at the world the same way after reading Babel' FT Odessa was a uniquely Jewish city, and the stories of Isaac Babel — a Jewish man, writing in Russian, born in Odessa — uncover its tough underbelly. Gangsters, prostitutes, beggars, smugglers: no one escapes the pungent, sinewy force of Babel's pen. From the tales of the magnetic cruelty of Benya Krik — infamous mob boss, and one of the great anti-heroes of Russian literature — to the devastating semi-autobiographical account of a young Jewish boy caught up in a pogrom, this collection of stories is considered one of the great masterpieces of twentieth-century Russian literature. Translated with precision and sensitivity by Boris Dralyuk, whose rendering of the rich Odessan argot is pitch-perfect, Odessa Stories is the first ever stand-alone collection of all the stories Babel set in the city — and includes tales from the original collection as well as later ones.
