Malachitowa szkatułka. Uralskie opowieści

Invented by Pavel Bazhov, the "Ural Tales" contain echoes of the traditions and legends of many peoples who inhabited the Ural land, the legends of prospectors, craftsmen, and peasants who lived in this wonderful region. Danila the Master and the Silver Hoof, the Great Snake and the Firebird, and of course, the Mistress of the Copper Mountain – all these characters are memorable to us from childhood. And the goldfields of Sysert, the land of which holds many treasures, from malachite to precious stones, are as familiar to us as our own home.
In our book, we have collected the best tales of Pavel Bazhov, the most famous stories born from the Ural. The peculiarity 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.
