Description
We present to you an audiobook with short stories by Isaac Emmanuelovich Babel. The peculiar, distinctive quality of his talent was understood by critics and readers who have already passed through the crucible of Russia’s history in the 20th century.
Babel’s prose is both a rich collection of jokes, aphorisms, and anecdotes, and a harsh portrayal of the reality surrounding him. Here you’ll find stories from the Odessa cycle, cavalry-campaign prose, and sketches from life that did not make it into these famous collections.

An Evening with the Empress (From a Petersburg Diary)
