This work is an innovative and controversial study of how four
famous Jews writing in Russian in the early Soviet period attempted
to resolve the conflict between their cultural identity and their
place in Revolutionary Russia. Babel, Mandelstam, Pasternak and
Ehrenburg struggled in very different ways to form creative selves
out of the contradictions of origins, outlook, and social or
ideological pressures. Efraim Sicher also explores the broader
context of the literature and art of the Jewish avant-garde in the
years immediately preceding and following the Russian Revolution.
By comparing literary texts and the visual arts the author reveals
unexpected correspondences in the response to political and
cultural change. This study contributes to our knowledge of an
important aspect of modern Russian writing and will be of interest
to both Jewish scholars and those concerned with Slavonic studies.
