Based on Babel's own diaries that he wrote during the Russo-Polish war of 1920, Red Cavalry is a lyrical, unflinching and often startlingly ironic depiction of the violence and horrors of war. A classic of modern fiction, the short stories are as powerful today as they were when they burst onto the Russian literary landscape nearly a century ago. The narrator, a Russian-Jewish intellectual, struggles with the tensions of his dual identity: fact blends with fiction; the coarse language of soldiers combines with an elevated literary style; cultures, religions and different social classes collide. Shocking, moving and innovative, Red Cavalry is one of the masterpieces of Russian literature.;Cover; Title Page; Contents; Translator's Foreword; Red Cavalry (1926); Crossing the Zbrucz; The Catholic Church in Novograd; A Letter; The Chief of the Remount Service; Pan Apolek; The Italian Sun; Gedali; My First Goose; The Rebbe; The Road to Brody; The Tachanka Doctrine; The Death of Dolgushov; The Second Brigade Commander; Sashka the Christ; The Life Story of Pavlichenko, Matvei Rodionych; The Cemetery in Kozin; Prishchepa; The Story of a Horse; Konkin; Berestechko; Salt; Evening; Afonka Bida; In St Valentine's; Squadron Commander Trunov; The Ivans; The Story of a Horse, Continued.
