Isaak Emmanuelovich Babel (1894–1939) — Russian writer, “the great Odessa man,” master of dialogue and stylization. In his works, with fantastic realism, lyrical and ironic, high and low, love and hatred, the funny and the frightening are intertwined. I. E. Babel’s stories have been translated into more than 20 languages, and today neither Russian nor world literature can be imagined without his work. That is precisely why it is so important to understand the image of the world created by the writer.
