Críticas
"One of those 'where have you been all my life?' books... Fractured, jarring, beautiful, alive to humour... an excellent translation." -- Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian "These celebrated stories have never been rendered with the cutting flair Boris Dralyuk's new English translations impart to them. . . Babel's is an ebullient elegy, filled with violence, sex, and life" -- Los Angeles Review of Books "The salty speech of the city's inhabitants is wonderfully rendered in a new translation by Boris Dralyuk, who preserves the characters' Yiddishisms ("He doesn't talk much, but when he talks, you want he should keep talking") and imbues the dialogue with hard-boiled language reminiscent of Dashiell Hammett ("Buzz off, coppers... or we'll flatten you"). Although Babel mostly lets characters speak for themselves, the narrators' descriptions can be as luxurious as the stolen jewels given to Benya's sister on her wedding night, or as surprising as a slap in the face." -- Vice "Glorious stories by the incomparable Babel... This wonderful collection is a companion volume to Red Cavalry. Babel is required reading." - Eileen Battersby, Irish Times (Best Books of 2016) "Fine writing." -- East-West Review "The stories read wonderfully. Dralyuk has done an excellent job of capturing Babel's 'voice' and in particular of conveying the tone of Odessan Russian." -- Barry Scherr, Emeritus Professor of Russian, Dartmouth College "Electric, heroically wrought prose." -- John Updike "Aside from being a great writer, Babel stands as an emblem of the tragedy of 20th century totalitarianism... literary genius framed by 20th-century tragedy." -- New York Times "I had read Babel before, but never realized what I was missing. This was the first time I felt that I really had read Babel. It was just a total experience." -- Corey Robin, Cullman Center Fellow, for New York Public Library blog "This is a wonderful, highly readable collection of stories." -- The London Magazine "His is still an original, sparky voice sounding out of the great Russian literary pantheon." -- Paddy Kehoe, RTE Arena "Sparkling, wily and loose-tongued... Babel's dialogue calls for a daring translator... Boris Dralyuk delivers brilliantly." -- Times Literary Supplement "It is impossible to look at the world the same way after reading Babel... one of the enduring jewels of 20th-century Russian literature." -- Financial Times "Like a fusion of David Sedaris' gentle, self-effacing comedy and Ernest Hemingway's staccato encounters with twentieth century brutality." -- Soviet Roulette blog "Lively and entertaining, wonderful written and gives a captivating yet poignant glimpse of a lost world. Plus it's a beautifully produced Pushkin edition - so what more could you want?" -- Kaggy's Bookish Ramblings blog
Reseña del editor
Odessa was a uniquely Jewish city, and the stories of Isaac Babel - a Jewish man, writing in Russian, born in Odessa - uncover its tough underbelly. 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 all the stories Babel set in the city - and includes tales from the original collection as well as later ones.
