Seller's Description:
New York. 1963. November 1963. Signet/New American Library. 1st Printing of This Signet Classic Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. Newly Translated From The Russian and With An Afterword By Andrew R. MacAndrew. 285 pages. paperback. CT203. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback Russia Translated Literature. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Babel has been compared to Hemingway in the violence he depicts, in his abiding theme of test and initiation, in his intense artistic dedication. Yet his style and vision are uniquely his own. Babel's tales are shaped by deeply personal and intense ironies: maternal love vies with the harsh realities of ghetto life; a starving writer is coupled with a sensual wealthy woman; a Jewish intellectual enters into a strange alliance with brutal Cossacks in the Goyaesque horrors of war in Poland. Babel's stories are written with passionate devotion to the mot juste, the swift phrase, the unexpected image, and they form a series of lightninglike attacks upon the reader's sensibilities. From the author's juxtaposition of gruesome detail and lyric grace there emerges an unforgettable revelation of the mingled bestiality and beauty that lie in primitive emotion and naked action. Lionel Trilling called the stories in RED CAVALRY 'the most remarkable work of fiction that had yet come out of revolutionary Russia. having upon it the mark of exceptional talent, even of genius.
