Elvira Maria reluctantly enters an underworld where the price of life and the cost of war dictate the terms of survival.Night Train To Odessa is a beautiful and moving novel of hope and courage, and a loving tribute to Odessa.

Odessa, Odessa follows the families of two sons from a proud lineage of rabbis and cantors in a shtetl near Odessa in western Russia. It begins as Henya, wife of Rabbi Mendel Kolopsky, considers an unexpected pregnancy and the hardships ahead for the children she already has. Soon after the child is born, Cossacks ransack the Kolopskys’ home, severely beating Mendel. In the aftermath, he tells Henya that, contrary to his brother Shimshon’s belief that socialism is their ticket to escaping the region’s brutal anti-Semitic pogroms, he still believes America holds the answer. Henya, meanwhile, understands that any future will be perilous: she now knows their baby daughter, who has slept through this night of melee, is surely deaf. So begins a beautifully told story that unfolds over decades of the 20th century—a story in which two families, joined in tradition and parted during persecution, will remain bound by their fateful decision to leave Odessa.

Odessa is a Barn Owl with an attitude, who befriended Jaxon (a magical Jackalope). The two of them met Dewey (a cat with all the usual cat characteristics based around a desire for a life of luxury), and the three of them moved into an empty farm. Joshua Pebblestone bought his dream farm. His life was now going to be spent immersed in the peace and quiet of rural life, but then he found that he had three lodgers! Jaxon worked his magic which allowed them all to communicate with each other and, by some cunning feline manipulation, Joshua was soon known as the man-servant! The man-servant had no idea how full of adventures and humor his life was to become, with the antics of his three lodgers. He also had no idea that they would quickly steal his heart and be his best friends!

A new mass-market edition of the acclaimed stories of violence, crime and sex 'One of those "where have you been all my life?" books'Nick Lezard, Guardian In the city of Odessa, the lawless streets hide darker stories of their own. From the magnetic cruelty of mob boss Benya Krik to the devastating account of a young Jewish boy caught up in a pogrom, Odessa Stories uncovers the tales of gangsters, prostitutes, beggars and smugglers: no one can escape the pungent, sinewy force of Isaac Babel's pen. Translated with precision and sensitivity by Boris Dralyuk, whose rendering of the rich Odessan slang is pitch-perfect, this acclaimed new translation of Odessa Stories contains the grittiest of Babel's tales, considered by many to be some of the greatest masterpieces of twentieth-century Russian literature. Isaac Babel was a short-story writer, playwright, literary translator and journalist. He joined the Red Army as a correspondent during the Russian civil war. The first major Russian-Jewish writer to write in Russian, he was hugely popular during his lifetime. He was murdered in Stalin's purges in 1940, at the age of 45.

This is a translation of the letter to which I referred in the work, Chapter XVI. It is dated--Constantinople, October, 5, 1854. Dear Julian, I Write to you under a sense of oppression from grief, in which I am sure you will participate. Our dear friend, Auguste, is no more! he died fighting bravely for his Emperor. The account is a sad one, but short. At the battle of Alma, when the flag of the enemy was being planted on the top of the Telegraph Tower, poor Auguste, following his natural impulse of bravery, stepped out of the ranks, and cut down the flag-bearer, --only, in his turn, to be cut down by a powerful opponent. I was myself, at that time, engaged, by order of our general, to recall his company, but arrived too late to avert the fate of my young friend. Peace to his soul! His was indeed a career of glory nipped in the bud! Our journey to Sevastopol was most hurried, and we underwent much suffering; but he bore up with every privation without the appearance of being even incommoded by it. As there were not enough horses for the whole company, we walked as long as we could: some wore out their shoes, and on being provided with new ones, if they happened not to fit, they became lame, and had to hobble on as well as they could. With the exce...
