Odessa Stories (Paperback, New Edition)

'One of those "where have you been all my life?" books' Nick Lezard, Guardian

In the city of Odessa, the lawless streets hide darker stories of their own. From the magnetic cruelty of mob boss Benya Krik to the devastating account of a young Jewish boy caught up in a pogrom, Odessa Stories uncovers the tales of gangsters, prostitutes, beggars and smugglers: no one can escape the pungent, sinewy force of Isaac Babel's pen.

Translated with precision and sensitivity by Boris Dralyuk, whose rendering of the rich Odessan slang is pitch-perfect, this acclaimed new translation of Odessa Stories contains the grittiest of Babel's tales, considered by may to be some of the greatest masterpieces of twentieth-century Russian literature.
