{"product_id":"9780140449976","title":"Red Cavalry and Other Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne 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 \"\u003cb\u003eStory of My Dovecote\u003c\/b\u003e\" and \"\u003cb\u003eFirst Love\u003c\/b\u003e,\" or depicting Jewish gangsters in his native Odessa, Babel’s eye for the comical laid bare the ironies of history. His masterpiece, \"\u003cb\u003eRed Cavalry\u003c\/b\u003e,\" set in the Soviet-Polish war, is one of the classics of modern fiction. By turns flamboyant and restrained, this collection of Babel’s best-known stories vividly expresses the horrors of his age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTranslation based on the complete, original text taken from an unexpurgated Russian edition\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47046854869232,"sku":"9780140449976","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780140449976_p0.jpg?v=1769913487","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780140449976","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
