Description

War's mess and muddle, the brutality and the inanity of fighting - few have better captured this than Isaac Babel, who was a journalist with the Soviet First Cavalry Army.

His unflinching portrayal of the murderous havoc of battle is offset by an unexpected and wry humour: having seen the fighting up close, Babel is able to find the funny side of war while depicting its bloody side - in all its mesmerising and casual violence.

The lyricism and bitterness that characterise the thirty-five short stories ofRed Cavalry are stunningly reproduced in this new translation by the award-winning Boris Dralyuk.
