Babel: Man and Paradox

In his unique work, researcher David Rosenson examines the phenomenon of Babel's personality and his alter ego Lyutov.

Where does Babel's diary of the twenties end and the stories of his character Kirill Lyutov begin? Is the writer's creativity autobiographical? How... is the Jewish theme, its imagery and symbolism manifested in his worldview and works?

Additionally, for the first time in Russian, material is presented and analyzed on the following topics: how Babel was perceived by his contemporaries in Palestine; what the Hebrew-language press wrote about him in the 1920s-30s; what influence Isaac Babel had on modern Israeli literature.

Together with the readers, the author of the book attempts to find an answer to the question: what is the complexity and mystery of the personality of Isaac Emmanuilovich Babel?
