Malachite Box

Ural tales of Bazhov. Stories of extraordinary beauty and mystery that have shaped many generations of readers. For the first time, we meet the Mistress of the Copper Mountain and her favorite Danila the master, the beautiful Tanya, mysteriously connected to the underground world, the treasure-giver Silver Hoof, the mistress of gold Fire Sprite-Springer, the eternally youthful Blue Girl, and other characters of unique Ural folklore as children, yet we return to them again and again. Only then do we fully uncover the charm of Pavel Bazhov's style and the depth of his plots, which are not only fairy-tale-like but also filled with truly mystical depth.
