One of his most notable works was the short story collection '<em>The Odessa Tales'</em> which served as the basis for the play '<em>Sunset'</em>.<br />'<em>Sunset'</em> made its debut at the Baku Worker's Theatre in 1927 and later had successful runs including at the Moscow Art Theatre.<br />Russian filmmaker <strong>Sergei Eisenstein</strong> regarded the play's dramatic composition as the most suitable for the post-1917 era. Poet Boris Pasternak recommended that his father read it noting '<em>Almost for the first time in my life I found that Jewry as an ethnic fact was a phenomenon of positive unproblematic importance and power'</em> from a letter to his father in 1928.<br />Babel was arrested in 1939 and under duress confessed to being a spy. He was subsequently executed in January 1940.</p><p>Wolfgang Kasack p. 33.</p> Krug hardcover
