This duality of vision infuses his work with a powerful energy from the earliest tales, including 'Old Shloyme' and 'Childhood', which affirm his Russian-Jewish childhood, to the relatively non-Jewish world of his collection of stories entitled \u003cem\u003eRed Cavalry\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBabel's masterpiece, \u003cem\u003eRed Cavalry\u003c\/em\u003e, is the most dramatic expression of his dualism.
