A review by nikita_barsukov
Конармия. Одесские Рассказы. by Isaac Babel

5.0

Fantastic short story collection, written in an intricate dialect, now lost; with intense episodes, impressions and characters, juxtaposed on real historical events of Civil war, living experiences inside a Jewish ghetto within a pale of settlement in early-20th-century Russian Empire. As it often happens, audio version is subpar, normal book would be much better medium for it.
