A literary event of extraordinary dimensions—the first single-volume edition of all of Isaac Babel’s work. Considered one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century—and the greatest short story writer since Chekhov—Isaac Babel (1894-1941) also wrote numerous plays, diaries, and screenplays.

One of the great masterpieces of Russian literature, the Red Cavalry cycle retains today the shocking freshness that made Babel’s reputation when the stories were first published in the 1920s. Using his own experiences as a journalist and propagandist with the Red Army during the war against Poland, Babel brings to life an astonishing cast of characters from the exuberant, violent era of early Soviet history: commissars and colonels, Cossacks and peasants, and among them the bespectacled, Jewish writer/intellectual, observing it all and trying to establish his role in the new Russia.
