19311913Moscow: GIKHL 1931. 140 3 pp. 19x125 cm. In original illustrated cardboards. Slightly rubbed and bumped otherwise mint.<br /> <br /> First full edition of the well-known literary cycle.<br /> <br /> Jewish writer Isaak Babel 1894-1940 was born in Odesa. He graduated from the Odesa Commercial School and the Kyiv Commercial Institute. While studying Babel made his literary debut with a story “Old Shloime†1913.<br /> In the early Soviet period Babel was under the patronage of M. Gorky and M. Koltsov. In 1921 he worked in the Odesa Provincial Committee being the producing editor of the 7th Soviet printing house a reporter in Tiflis and Odesa at the State Publishing House of Ukraine. It was the period when he began to create the cycle “ Odesa Storiesâ€. At the same time Babel published in the Odesa periodicals “Lava†Drift and “Moriak†Sailor. In 1923-1924 the magazines “Lef†“Krasnaya Novâ€<br /> and other large publications published a row of his stories which later formed the cycles “Cavalry†and “ Odesa Storiesâ€. Babel immediately received wide recognition as a brilliant master of words. “ Odesa stories†are set in the Odesa ghetto of Moldavanka both before and after the October Revolution. Separately the works were published in periodicals in 1921-1924 but were finally collected in the 1931 book.<br /> <br /> During the struggle with formalism and the start of the social realist era Babel noted ironically that “he mastered a new literary genre the genre of silenceâ€. In 1932 he went to Paris and stayed there for a while doubting whether he needed to return to the USSR. He also managed to visit France in 1935 as part of the delegation of Soviet writers to the International Congress of Writers. In 1939 Babel was arrested and executed. Republished several times until the murder of the<br /> author “ Odesa Stories†were returned to print in the de-Stalinization period.<br /> <br /> Worldcat shows paper copies located in Texas University and Vassar College.

75741London: Flegon Press. Facsimile reprint of the 1928 third printing. Trade paperback. Good. 170 6 pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Isaac Emmanuilovich Babel 13 July O.S. 1 July 1894 - 27 January 1940 was a Russian-language journalist playwright literary translator historian and Bolshevik revolutionary. He is best known as the author of Red Cavalry Story of My Dovecote and Tales of Odessa all of which are considered masterpieces of Russian literature. Babel has also been acclaimed as "the greatest prose writer of Russian Jewry". Loyal to but not uncritical of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Babel fell victim to Joseph Stalin's Great Purge as a result of his long-term affair with the wife of NKVD chief Nikolai Yezhov. Babel was arrested by the NKVD at Peredelkino on the night of 15 May 1939. After confessing under interrogation to being a Trotskyist terrorist and foreign spy he was shot on 27 January 1940. There is very little information about Babel's whereabouts during and after the October Revolution. According to one of his stories "The Road" he served on the Romanian front until early December 1917. He resurfaced in Petrograd in March 1918 as a reporter for Gorky's Menshevik newspaper Novaya zhizn "New Life". Babel continued publishing there until Novaya zhizn was forcibly closed on Lenin's orders in July 1918. In 1920 Babel was assigned to Komandarm Semyon Budyonny's 1st Cavalry Army witnessing a military campaign of the Polish-Soviet War of 1920. Virtually all of the newly independent neighbors began fighting over borders. He documented the horrors of the war he witnessed in the 1920 Diary which he later used to write Red Cavalry Konarmiya a collection of short stories such as "Crossing the River Zbrucz" and "My First Goose". The horrific violence of Red Cavalry seemed to harshly contrast the gentle nature of Babel himself. Flegon Press paperback
