Bazhov

It is surprising, but in the personal and creative biography of the author of Ural tales Pavel Bazhov, born almost a century and a half ago, there remain mysteries, intriguing questions, factual discrepancies, and outright myths - this is what the author Alexander Fedosov has tackled. A deep study of the documents and correspondence of the writer has allowed for a presentation of the real, "unvarnished" Bazhov, a revolutionary, teacher, journalist, deputy, household member, and a new perspective on the images of his tales, popular all over the world.

The reader will learn that the Mistress of the Copper Mountain has ancient roots, and the story of the Silver Hoof may possibly be based on the biography of Bazhov's mother, as well as where Bazhov and Chekhov may have met, what relationships linked the author of the tales with the leader of the peoples, and much more.
