The Russian tale-teller Paul Petrovich Бажов (1879-1950) was born and grew on Ural. From year to year in summer he traveled all over on native places, and in the Ural edge hardly there will be a corner, where this bread-winner of verbal speech gold and seeker of virgin stories did not visit. Everywhere he with interesting people was known, about life listened and in everything went deep. A day and night worked tale-teller. And неувядаемые lithoidal flowers blossomed out on white folias, the kind came back to life and wicked monsters, blue zig-zags, nimble pangolins and merry goats. Researchers of work of П.П.Бажова name the "Malachite small box" the main book of writer. A writer talked: it would be "Desirable, that this record without a book though in a weak degree reflected that spontaneity and surprizing force, сказы heard at караулки on the Думной mountain" were full that.This essay is included in the collected "Works in three volumes. Tom third".
