Short biography
Isaac Babel was one of Russia's greatest writers. In his lifetime, he won praise for "Red Calvary," a collection of short stories about the brutality of a Cossack regiment in the Red Army, as well as "Tales of Odessa," a collection of short stories about Jewish life in his hometown. He was arrested in 1939 by the Russian secret police and executed the following year. His work was banned until after Stalin's death and then published only in edited versions. His complete works in Russian finally appeared in the 1990s; others were edited and translated by his daughter Nathalie Babel Brown.
