Download or read book Odessa Stories written by Isaac Babel and published by Pushkin Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of “electric, heroically wrought” Russian short stories of violence, crime, and sex set in Ukraine—for fans of hard-boiled fiction by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett (John Updike) Odessa was a uniquely Jewish city, and the stories of Isaac Babel—a Jewish man, writing in Russian and born in Odessa—uncover its tough underbelly around the time of the Russian Revolution. Gangsters, prostitutes, beggars, smugglers: no one escapes the pungent, sinewy force of Babel’s pen. From the tales of the magnetic cruelty of Benya Krik—infamous mob boss, and one of the great anti-heroes of Russian literature—to the devastating semi-autobiographical account of a young Jewish boy caught up in a pogrom, this collection of stories is considered one of the great masterpieces of twentieth-century Russian literature. Translated with precision and sensitivity by Boris Dralyuk, whose rendering of the rich Odessan argot is pitch-perfect, Odessa Stories is the first ever stand-alone collection of Babel’s narratives set in the city and includes the original stories as well as later tales. “The salty speech of the city’s inhabitants is wonderfully rendered in a new translation by Boris Dralyuk . . . Hard-boiled language reminiscent of Dashiell Hammett.” —Vice
Book Synopsis Moshkeleh the Thief by : Sholem Aleichem
Download or read book Moshkeleh the Thief written by Sholem Aleichem and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first English translation of Sholom Aleichem's rediscovered novel, Moshkeleh the Thief, has a riveting plot, an unusual love story, and a keenly observed portrayal of an underclass Jew replete with characters never before been seen in Yiddish literature. The eponymous hero, Moshkeleh, is a robust chap and horse thief. When Tsireleh, daughter of a tavern keeper, flees to a monastery with the man she loves--a non-Jew she met at the tavern--the humiliated tavern keeper's family turns to Moshkeleh for help, not knowing he too is in love with her. For some unknown reason, this innovative novel does not appear in the standard twenty-eight-volume edition of Sholom Aleichem's collected works, published after his death. Strikingly, Moshkeleh the Thief shows Jews interacting with non-Jews in the Russian Pale of Settlement--a groundbreaking theme in modern Yiddish literature. This novel is also important for Sholom Aleichem's approach to his material. Yiddish literature had long maintained a tradition of edelkeyt, refinement. Authors eschewed violence, the darker side of life, and people on the fringe of respectability. Moshkeleh thus enters a Jewish arena not hitherto explored in a novel.

The year is 1871. The inhabitants of Balativke live in delicate balance -until a young Russian aristocrat is found murdered near the home of Koppel, a poor Jew. With the police unable to unravel the mystery of the aristocrat's murder, and blame falling upon Koppel amid a rising tide of anti-Jewish feeling, a desperate Avrom attempts to prevent disaster for his community by searching out the truth himself. Learning as much about the people he lives among as he does about the slain Arkady Olegovich, Avrom finds that few are who they seem. But could one of his neighbors really be a murderer?

Book Synopsis The Odessa Stories - Isaac Babel by : Isaac Babel
Download or read book The Odessa Stories - Isaac Babel written by Isaac Babel and published by Lebooks Editora. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isaac Emmanuilovich Babel, better known as Isaac Babel, was a Soviet journalist and writer of Jewish origin. Despite being an idealistic advocate of Marxism and Leninism, he was arrested, tortured, and executed during Stalin's Great Purge. "The Odessa Stories" a collection published in 1931, is a selection of beautiful stories by Babel whose narratives take place in the city of Odessa. Babel describes, among other stories, the life of the fictional Jewish mafia boss, Benya Krik, one of the great anti-heroes of Russian literature, and his gang in the Moldavanka ghetto during the time of the October Revolution. Isaac Babel is a master of conciseness. This characteristic was emphasized by the writer himself when he once declared that while Tolstoy could narrate minute by minute everything that happened to him throughout a day, he preferred to focus on the five most interesting minutes. It is a fact that Isaac Babel's narratives are profoundly interesting. An excellent and captivating read.
