A review by rvandenboomgaard
De Rode ruiterij by Isaac Babel
5.0
I have rarely encountered such visually evocative literature.
Interesting little book consisting of (fictional?) accounts of the year 1920 during the Polish-Soviet War in the wake of the 1917 October Revolution. Felt very realistic, not sparing the reader the gruesome aspects of war. Might be historically interesting.
Just checked Wikipedia, damn, this man had a life. This book was actually based on his journalistic work, that’s pretty… heavy.
