Isaac Babel Red Cavalry & Other Stories Paperback Book

Throughout his life Isaac Babel was torn by opposing forces, by the desire both to remain faithful to his Jewish roots and yet to be free of them. This duality of vision infuses his work with a powerful energy from the earliest tales including Old Shloyme and Childhood, which affirm his RussianJewish childhood, to the relatively nonJewish world of his collection of stories entitled Red Cavalry. Babels masterpiece, Red Cavalry is the most dramatic expression of his dualism and in his simultaneous acceptance and rejection of his heritage heralds the great AmericanJewish writers from Henry Roth to Saul Bellow and Philip Roth. | Isaac Babel Red Cavalry & Other Stories Paperback Book
