Serving Hudson County’s Progressive Jewish Community for Over 150 Years
This month’s book, Odessa Stories by Isaac Babel
In the original Odessa Stories collection published in 1931, Babel describes the life of the fictional Jewish mob boss Benya Krik – one of the great anti-heroes of Russian literature – and his gang in the ghetto of Moldavanka, around the time of the October Revolution. Praised by Maxim Gorky and considered one of the great masterpieces of twentieth-century Russian literature, this is the first ever stand-alone collection of all Babel’s narratives set in the city, and includes the original stories as well as later tales.
