A seminar on the works of "Cavalry" by the Soviet writer Babel was held in Beijing.
Recently, more than 30 Russian and Soviet literary experts, critics, writers and filmmakers from San Francisco, Xi, Changchun and Nanjing gathered in Beijing for a name "Babel".
What is the magic of this former Soviet writer, who is strange to most people in China, that makes so many China scholars fall in love with him?
In fact, anyone who has read Babel's works will be amazed by his genius expression and strange imagination. His masterpiece "Cavalry" is a wonderful book that has been popular all over the world for 80 years and has been banned. Gorky, the great writer who first discovered his talent, once said that he was the most outstanding writer in contemporary Russia, and Hemingway once lamented that Babel's words were more concise than himself. Although Babel was unfortunately executed in the expansion of the Soviet purge. But his works have great vitality. 1957, his Cavalry was reprinted in the Soviet Union, and was translated into more than 20 languages one after another, which spread all over the world and shocked the European and American literary circles. 1986, European magazines selected one hundred best novelists in the world, and Babel ranked first. In 2002 and 2003, "Cavalry" ranked in the American bestseller list for two consecutive years.
