One of the most powerful short-story writers of the twentieth century, Isaac Babel expressed his sense of inner conflict through disturbing tales that explored the contradictions of Russian society. Whether reflecting on anti-Semitism in stories such as "<b>Story of My Dovecote</b>" and "<b>First Love</b>," or depicting Jewish gangsters in his native Odessa, Babel’s eye for the comical laid bare the ironies of history.
