Tanya grew up and, thanks to the stranger, who was asked to spend the night in their home, learned felt like a beaded to embroider. And such a craftswoman was that the big money began to earn. Soon I saw the girl Barin and was so amazed by her Krasu, which offered her to become his wife. She agreed, but set the condition that it would be for him if he would show her the queen in the room from Malachite's work of her father. Barin promised to fulfill her desire. Once in the Malachite Chamber of the queen, the girl leaned against the wall and melted. Since then, no one heard anything about her, they just began to notice that the hostess had a copper mountain.

And the path was lying through the swamp. I wanted to drink Ilya. It looks, and in a swamp, a plot with clean water like a well. I decided to drink this water, lean on the ground, and from the water to him, the Sonyyushka stretched out. He managed to cope with her spells, he stood up and spat her hand.

And suddenly they saw a red-haired girl who jumped out of the fire. She danced, and then stopped near the pine and the foot stuck. By reference, she pointed out the place where gold is needed.

Found a guinea Gold and for 5 years without living. He heard about the people, and everyone rushed to the gold for gold. From all sides we went there. Yes, only gold is gone because of this.

Bazhov Pavel Petrovich was born in 1879, January 27th. This Russian writer died, a famous storyteller, a prose, handler of legends, legends, Ural talles in 1950, December 3.

Origin

Bazhov Pavel Petrovich was born, whose biography is represented in our article, in the Urals, near Yekaterinburg, in the family of August, Stefanovna and Peter Vasilyevich Bajhev (this surname was then chosen then). His father was a hereditary master in the Sute Plant.

The surname of the writer comes from the word "BUY", which means "foreshadow", "burning". Even the street boy is nicknamed Bazhov was sordlemen. Later, when he began to be printed, also subscribed to this pseudonym.

Formation of the talent of the future writer

Bahezhet Peter Vasilyevich worked as a master in the Sysert Plant, in the Poodling and Welding Workshop. The mother of the future writer was a good lace. It was a help for a family, especially when the husband temporarily remained without work.

There lived a future writer in the mineral resource of the Urals. Children's impressions were the most bright and important for him.

Bazhov loved to listen to the stories of experienced people. Syserted old men - Konta Ivan Petrovich and Kranjwa Alexey Efimovich were good storytellers. But superior to everyone who knew the future writer, Khmelinin Vasily Alekseevich, Polevskaya Miner.

Fortical and Youth years

This period of your life has spent the future writer in the Polevsky factory and in the town of Sysert. His family often moved, as Father Paul worked, then at one plant, then on the other. This allowed the young Bazhov to learn the life of the mountainous district, that he later reflected in his work.

The future writer got the opportunity to learn due to its abilities and occasion. At first he visited a three-year men's goddling school, where the talented teacher of the verbost worked, who could pass the literature guys. He loved him to listen and Bazhov Pavel Petrovich. The biography of the writer has developed in many ways under the influence of this talented person.

All assured the bay family that it is necessary to continue the formation of their greenest son, but poverty did not allow the real school or gymnasium to dream. As a result, the choice fell on the Ekaterinburg spiritual school, since it was lowered in it, and did not need to buy a form. This institution was intended mainly for children of the nobles, and only the promotion of a friend of the family made it possible to arrange Pavel Petrovich in it.

At the age of 14, graduating from the school, Pavel Petrovich Bazhov arrives already in the Permian spiritual seminary, where he comprehends various areas of knowledge for 6 years. Here he met modern and classical literature.

Work teacher

In 1899, training was completed. After that, Bazhov Pavel Petrovich worked as a teacher in elementary school in the village of the Old Believers district. He began the work path in one deaf village near Nevyansk, after which he continued its activities in Kamyshlov and Yekaterinburg. Teaching the future writer Russian. He traveled a lot in the Urals, was interested in local history, folklore, ethnography, journalism.

Pavel Bazhov for 15 years during the school holidays every year traveled on foot in his native land, talked with the workers, looked at the surrounding life, recorded stories, conversations, gathered folklore, learned about the work of Kamnerisov, borders, founders, steelmaster, gunsmiths and other masters Urals. In the future, it helped him in a journalist's career, and then in the writer's work, which began later Pavel Bazhov (photo is presented below).

When after a while in the Yekaterinburg spiritual school, a vacancy was opened, the Bazhov returned to the native walls of this institution as a teacher.

Family Pavel Petrovich Bazhova

In 1907, the future writer began working in the Diocesan School, where the lessons of the Russian language were learn until 1914. Here he met his future wife, Valentina Ivanitsky. She was at that time a student of this educational institution. In 1911, Valentina Ivanitskaya and Pavel Bazhov got married. They were often in the theater, they read a lot. In the family of the writer, seven children appeared.

During the beginning of the First World War, two daughters were already grew - the children of Bazhova Pavel Petrovich. The family in connection with the material difficulties was forced to move to Kamyshlov, where Valentina's relatives lived. Pavel Bazhov began working in Kamyshlovsky spiritual school.

Creating a story

In 1918-1921, Bazhov participated in the Civil War in Siberia, in the Urals, in Altai. In 1923-1929, he lived in Sverdlovsk, where he worked in the "peasant newspaper." At this time, the writer was created by more than forty-fog devoted to the factory Ural Folklore. Since 1930, work begins in the Book Publishing House of Sverdlovsk. The writer in 1937 was excluded from the party (restored in a year). Having lost over this incident in the publishing house because of this incident, he decided to devote his free time to tale, who were similar to the Ural Gemstones "frozen" in his "malachite box". In 1939, this is the most famous work of the author, which is a collection of fairy tales. For the "Malachite Casket" Writer was awarded the USSR State Prize. Bazhov further replenished with new ties of this book.

Writing path Bazhova

Relatively late began the writer's path of this author. The first of his book "Urals was" appeared in 1924. The most significant stories of Pavel Bazhov were published only in 1939. This is the aforementioned collection of tapes, as well as the "Green Fall" - an autobiographical story about the children's years.

In the "Malachite Casket", the new works were later included: "Takes about the Germans" (the year of writing - 1943), "Key-stone", created in 1942, "TSAZY on gunsmiths", as well as other Bazhov's creations. The late works of the author with the term "Skazy" can be called not only because of the formal signs of the genre (the presence of a fictional narrator who has an individual characteristic of speech), but also because they will go up to secretly told the Urals - oral legends of prosperity and miners who differ a combination of fabulous and real-domestic elements.

Features of Jazz Bazhov

Creating a tales Writer considered the main thing about the whole life. In addition, he was engaged in editing almanacs and books, including those dedicated to the Urals.

Initially, folklores are processed by the Bazham. "Secret Skazy" he heard a boy from Khmelinin. This man became the prototype of the grandfather heard - a storyteller from the work of the "Malachite Box". Bazhova later had to declare officially that it was just a reception, and he did not just fix other stories, but created their own on their basis.

The term "tale" later entered the folkloristic of Soviet times to determine the prose of workers. However, after a while it was established that this concept does not indicate a new phenomenon in folklore: the tales actually turned out to be memories, legends, legends, fairy tales, that is, existed for a long time genres.

Calling his works by this term, Bazhov Pavel Petrovich, whose fairy tales were associated with the folklore tradition, took into account not only the tradition of this genre, implying the mandatory presence of a narrator, but also the existence of oral antiques of the miners of the Urals. From these folk works, he took over the main feature of his creations - mixing in the narration of fabulous images.

Fantastic heroes of tales

The main theme of Bazzov's tapes is a simple person, his skill, talent and work. Communication with the secret basics of our life, with nature is carried out with the help of powerful representatives of the mountain magic world. Perhaps the most bright among the characters of this kind is the hostess of the copper mountain, which Stepan met the hero of the Malachite Casket. She helps Danil - a character of the tale called "Stone Flower" - to reveal the talent. And after he refuses to make an independently stone flower, disappointed in it.

In addition to this character, the great poloz is interesting, which is responsible for gold. Its image was created by the writer on the basis of the ancient superstitions of Khantov and Mansi, as well as the Ural legends, will accept the events and the townships.

Grandmother Sonyyushka, another heroine of Bazzov's tapes, is a character who is a relative famous Baba Yaga.

The relationship between gold and fire represents a fire-shakkushka, which dances over the gold deposit.

So, we met with such a distinctive writer as Pavel Bazhov. The article featured only the main milestones of his biography and the most famous works. If you are interested in the personality and creativity of this author, you can continue to get acquainted with him by reading the memoirs of the daughter of Pavel Petrovich - Ariadna Pavlovna.

The case from trifles began - with powder matches. She's not so hot as it has long been invented. Little hundreds of years will be cheer? At first, how the boofing went to the move, a lot over her wise. Which is in vain. Who, let's say, came up with an accurate straw to do, who again began to lubricate the matches with such a composition so that they burn with different lights: raspberry, green, and what. With the capping, too, very mounted. To say straight, the powder match was on the big fashion.

Not about people, to know myself. In those years, the people in the collective farm went, I was already in the elderly years. Instead of blondly, Kudrey Pleshin was growing in his head. And my old woman was not a man. Previously, it happened, called it with a song machine, and now it seems to be a grinding machine. So sharpening me and sharpening: it is not, this shortage.

People have guys about everything they will take care of everything, and we have, both shine and in the bath will evaporate and on the side. And there is no Dumushkah him!

In the local places earlier, a simple person would not be able to resist: the beast would have been overcome or he was overcome. Here first these places and worried the warriors. Of course, they were on people, only very big and stone. This, it is clear, easier: the beast does not block it, from the plant at all calmly, it's not necessary for the heat, and it's not necessary for the feashes.

For the older of these stone heroes walked alone, according to the title. He see, on the answer was a glass with small money from all kind of local stones and ore. According to these Rudyan, the stone money is boghed and the nickname was.

The glass is understandable, the Bogatyrsky - above the human growth, much more than the forty-evident barrel. The glass is made of the plain golden topaz and before it is thin, it is clean, which is nowhere. Rudyannya, stone money is clearly visible, and the power of these money is such that they are shown.

In a smooth place, we are not hurt here. All we have mountains and spoons, spoons and mountains. You won't go around, you will not open. Mount, of course, Mount Main. Nobody takes otherwise in acceptance, and the other is not the fact that in your district, and the distant people know: she is hearing, in glory.

One such mountain at our factory has come. At first, with a mile, or even more such a pull, that and the strong horse goes lightly, and that in soap, and then you still need to beat the ride, such as the scallop of the most difficult rise. What to say, noticeable slide. Once you pass, either you will drive, remember for a long time and you will become another other.

We have one logo for a pond since a long year on glory. Merry such place. Spoons are wide. In the spring here is a little mochary, but the grass is growing and the flowers are growing and the flowers. Circle, understandable, forest of all breed. Look anyone. And pester from the pond to that logatina handy: the coast is not cool and not gently, but in the most, to say, it is still on the floor, and the bottom - the sand with a ripple. Most strong bottom, and does not roll the leg. One word, everything is invented. You can say, this place itself is to yourself and pulls: here it is good here on the Berezhka sit, the tube is different to smoke, the fire is blocked yes to your factory, they donated to look, - isn't it better to see people?

To this spoon, the local people spocks are accustomed. As a mospiest fashion started.

They are these brothers Mosolov, when they started our factory, the buildings were hidden, from the carpentry called. It seems to say that the contractors seem to be visible. Yes, very rich and let's put your plant. Big, it means, water was floating. From the wealth of melted, it is clear. In terms of rafters with Waterpas, and all three brothers went forgotten. In one word, say:

Two guys grew in our factory, on the close side of the neighborhood: Lanka scan and leiko hat.

Who and for what they came up with such a nickname, I can't say that. Meanwhile, these guys lived together. Under one to face. The dying is in short, Silenka Vrowning, height and years too. And there was no big difference in living. Lanka had a father Rudoboy, he burned on the golden sands, and the mother was worried about the farm. The guys have nothing to do with a friend before his friend.

Katya, Danilov, the bride - the unmarried stayed. For years, two or three passed, as Danilo was lost, - she was completely out of the nice pore. For twenty-year, in our opinion, in factory, the permissions are considered. Guys are rarely woven, widows are more. Well, and this Katya, it can be seen, the fit was, all the grooms climb, and it only words:

Danil was promised.

Famous gorvers at our places there were a lot of. There were also such that truly scientists, academicians, their professors were magnificent and did not know in a joke, as they were finely the mountains found out, in vain that illiterate.

The case is understandable, not a simple, is not a berry with a bush to disrupt. Not in vain one thing was called a heavy cotton. A lot of all the stone on his back swore. And how much it was like, how many breeds are redistributed, it is stopped, it is impossible to count.

Our field, raise, raise treasury (for public funds. - Ed.) Put. There were no other plants in the local places. With battle walked. Well, the treasury is known. Soldier sent. The village of the mountain shield was on purposely built, so that the road was without fear. On her hums, you see, at that time the visible wealth lay on top, - to him and selected. They got, of course. The people were caught up, the plant was established, the Germans were brought some, and did not go. I did not go and did not go. Whether the Germans did not want to show, whether they did not know - I can not explain, only the human shells were out of attention. From another mine they took, and he did not stand at all. Almost in the middle of Rudnichko, Tekna. In such a good plant you will not put. That's then our field and hit Turchaninov.

Pavel Petrovich Bazhova's biographers say that this writer had a happy fate. The great age has lived a long and peaceful life saturated with events. All political coups Master Feather perceived relatively calmly and in those troubled times managed to achieve recognition and fame. For many years, the Bazhov was engaged in his loved one - she tried to make a fairy tale.

Its works are still popular with young people and older generation. Perhaps, there are few people who have not seen the Soviet cartoon "Silver Kopyts" or did not read the collection of stories "Malachite Casket", which includes the "Stone Flower", "Sinaushkin Well" and "expensive name".

Childhood and youth

Pavel Petrovich Bazhov was born 15 (27 in a new style) January 1879. The future writer grew and brought up in the average family. His father Peter Bazhov (initially the surname was written across the letter "E"), a leaving of the peasants of a field volost, worked at the mining site in the town of Sysert, that in the Sverdlovsk region. Later, the Bazhov moved to Polevskaya village. The parent of the writer earned a hard work for bread, and did not do agriculture: there were no arable land in Sysert. Peter was a hardworking person and a rare specialist in his business, but the heads of the man did not complain, so the older progress changed not one workplace.

The fact is that the head of the family loved to catch a hot drink and often leaving. But not this bad habit became a stumbling block between the leaders and subordinates: the junction of the boxes did not know how to keep the tongue of his teeth, so it criticized the working top in the fluff and dust. Later, the "talkative" Peter, who for this reason was called the drill, took back, because such professionals are valued for gold weight. True, the factory authority did not immediately bonded to forgiveness, the Bazhov had to wade a workplace for a long time. At the moments of the thunderness, the Bazhov family remained without livelihood, they saved the random earnings of the head of the family and the crafts of his wife Augustus Stefanovna (Osintseva).

The writer's mother took place from Polish peasants, led a household and raised Paul. In the evening he was fond of needlework: the lace was blurred, the openwork stockings knitted and created other cozy little things. But because of this painstaking work, which was carried out in the dark, the woman had a strong impaired vision. By the way, despite the initial character of Peter, he had friendly relations with his son. Grandmother Paul even used to say that his father had plunged all the time and forgives any leprosy. And in August, Stefanovna had a soft and flexible character at all, so the child was brought up in love and harmony.

Pavel Petrovich Bazhov grew up diligent and inquisitive boy. Before moving, he visited the Zemsto school in Sysert, studied perfectly. Paul grabbed items on the fly, whether it is Russian or mathematics, and every day he pleased the relatives with five in the diary. Bazzov recalled that thanks to managed to get a decent education. The future writer took the Tomik of the Great Russian Writer in the local library in harsh conditions: the librarian jokingly ordered the young man to learn all the works by heart. But Paul treated this task seriously.

Later, his school teacher told about the student to a friend-veterinarian as a gifted child from the working family, who knows the creation of Alexander Sergeevich. Impressed by the talented young men, the branch gave the boy a ticket to life and provided a decent education from the poor family. Pavel Bazhov graduated from the Ekaterinburg spiritual school, and then entered the Permian spiritual seminary. The young man was invited to continue learning and get a church san, however, a young man did not want to serve in the church, but dreamed of korping over textbooks on a university bench. In addition, Pavel Petrovich was not religious, but rather a revolutionary man.

But there was not enough money for further education. Peter Bazhov died of liver disease, had to be content with the pension of Augustus Stefanovna. Therefore, without having received a university diploma, Pavel Petrovich worked as a teacher in the spiritual colleges of Yekaterinburg and Kamyshlov, taught students Russian and literature. Bazhova loved every lecture was perceived by a gift, he read the works of great classics sensually and with a soul. Pavel Petrovich was one of those rare teachers who could even interest even an avid two and fume.

Girls in the school had a kind of custom: they piled a bows of multicolored satin ribbons to their favorite teachers. Pavel Petrovich Bazhova did not have a free space on the jacket, because "the signs of differences" he had the most. It is worth saying that Pavel Petrovich participated in political events and perceived the October revolution as something proper and fundamental. In his opinion, the renunciation of the throne and the Bolshevik coup should have committed to social inequality and provide a happy future to residents of the country.
