Isaac Emmanuilovich Babel (1894-1940) was a Russian writer, translator, screenwriter and war correspondent.Isaac Babel's "Odessa Stories" tell the story of Odessa and its inhabitants — in the center is a gang of raiders who lived in the Jewish Moldavanka district, hyperbolized, almost mythological. The prototypes of the heroes of Beni Creek, Lyubka Kazak, and Froim Grach became real personalities — Mishka Yaponchik, Sonka Zolotaya Pen, and others.Babel's short stories and other works presented in this edition are filled with Odessa humor and lightness, which easily and organically intertwine sad, sometimes touching moments from real life at the beginning of the 20th century.With care for the eyes! The edition has a large font for easy reading.
