描述
‘No iron can pierce the heart with such force as a period put just at the right place.’
*short story
_____
After the mid-1920s Isaak Babel published relatively little, but several of his later pieces, including "Guy de Maupassant" ("Giui de Mopassan"), are regarded as among his finest. Although he dated the manuscript of the story "1920-1922," it first appeared in 1932, and critics have discussed it more often than his other late works. If for no other reason, the story would be notable for a pair of pithy remarks about style, which seem to summarize Babel's view on the subject. But it is also one of the stories in which Babel is concerned most pointedly with the role of the artist; the encounter between art and reality is presented with a vibrancy, humor, and, ultimately, pathos that make the work memorable.
