Malachite Box. Ural Tales

The "Ural Tales" invented by Pavel Bazhov embody echoes of the traditions and legends of numerous peoples who inhabited the Ural land, the legends of gold prospectors, craftsmen, and peasants who lived in this wonderful region. Danila Master and Silver Hoof, the Great Snake and Fire Horse, and of course, the Mistress of the Copper Mountain – all these characters have been memorable to us since childhood. And the Systyri goldfields, the land of which holds many treasures, from malachite to precious stones, are as familiar to us as our own home.

The feature of the new edition is a unique illustrative series from the classics of Russian painting, which will allow us not only to read these stories but also to truly immerse ourselves in the everyday life and atmosphere of the Ural region.
