«La Cavalleria Roja» is the collection of short stories by Isaak Bábel, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (208 pages, in Catalan).
The stories draw on the notes Isaak Bábel took as a correspondent during the Red Army's campaign against Poland in 1920. Far from military epic, they show the violence and dehumanization of war through Kiril Liútov, a Jewish intellectual in a hostile world. Cruelty, passion and black humor run through these stories.
Volume 9 of the MOLU s.XX collection 'Les Millors Obres de la Literatura Universal'. Paperback edition with flaps, published in Barcelona in 1986.
A classic of twentieth-century Russian literature, for readers of war and historical stories.
