Isaak Babel (1894 - 1940) was one of the most important short story writers in Russia in the twentieth century. His works have been translated into many languages, and he is primarily known for his two short story collections: The Cavalry and Tales from Odessa. Anyone who studies the life of Isaac Babel can see the complexity and intertwining of the relations between the intellectual and the totalitarian authority that does not accept the intellectual even with silence. The collection "e;Cavalry"e; was published in 1926, and it deals with the period of the Soviet-Polish war that broke out following the Bolshevik Revolution. The collection's stories are not separate. They are considered an early model in Russian literature for the narrative sequence, which includes various stories united by a unified theme, and characters are repeated in more than one story. They form an interconnected network of events, characters and facts. Reading Babel can certainly bring pleasure and amazement. He is a unique writer with a distinctive style. He writes very modern literature for his time, suitable for our time to arouse admiration. He moved Russian literature to another era in which literature departed from its ancient era in terms of the nature of the topics and the way they are presented. .
