Bazhov liked to listen to the stories of experienced people. Sysert old men - Korob Ivan Petrovich and Klyukva Alexei Efimovich were good storytellers. But the future writer, Khmelinin Vasily Alekseevich, a field miner, surpassed everyone who knew.

Childhood and youth

The future writer spent this period of his life at the Polevsk plant and in the town of Sysert. His family moved frequently, as Pavel's father worked either at one factory or at another. This allowed the young Bazhov to get to know the life of the mountain district well, which he subsequently reflected in his work.

The future writer got the opportunity to learn thanks to his abilities and chance. At first, he attended a three-year male zemstvo school, where a talented teacher of literature worked, who knew how to captivate children with literature. Pavel Petrovich Bazhov also loved to listen to him. The biography of the writer has developed largely under the influence of this talented person.

Everyone assured the Bazhev family that it was necessary to continue the education of their gifted son, but poverty did not allow them to dream of a real school or gymnasium. As a result, the choice fell on Yekaterinburg religious school, as it had the lowest tuition fees and did not require the purchase of a uniform. This institution was intended mainly for the children of nobles, and only the assistance of a family friend made it possible to arrange Pavel Petrovich in it.

At the age of 14, after graduating from college, Pavel Petrovich Bazhov entered the Perm Theological Seminary, where he studied various fields of knowledge for 6 years. Here he became acquainted with modern and classical literature.

In 1899, the training was completed. After that Bazhov Pavel Petrovich worked as a teacher in primary school in an area inhabited by Old Believers. He began his career in a remote village near Nevyansk, after which he continued his activities in Kamyshlov and Yekaterinburg. The future writer taught Russian.

Pavel Bazhov for 15 years during school holidays every year he traveled on foot around his native land, talked with workers, looked closely at the life around him, wrote down stories, conversations, collected folklore, learned about the work of stone cutters, cutters, casters, steelworkers, gunsmiths and other masters of the Urals. Later this helped him in his career as a journalist, and then in writer's work, which was started later by Pavel Bazhov (his photo is presented below).

When, after some time, a vacancy opened up at the Yekaterinburg Theological School, Bazhov returned to the native walls of this institution as a teacher.

Family of Pavel Petrovich Bazhov

In 1907, the future writer began working at the diocesan school, where he taught Russian language lessons until 1914. Here he met his future wife, Valentina Ivanitskaya. She was at that time a student of this educational institution. In 1911, Valentina Ivanitskaya and Pavel Bazhov got married. They often went to the theater and read a lot. Seven children were born in the writer's family.

During the outbreak of the First World War, two daughters were already growing up - the children of Pavel Petrovich Bazhov. Due to financial difficulties, the family was forced to move to Kamyshlov, where Valentina's relatives lived. Pavel Bazhov began to work at the Kamyshlov Theological School.

Creation of tales

In 1918-1921, Bazhov took part in the Civil War in Siberia, the Urals, and Altai. In 1923-1929 he lived in Sverdlovsk, where he worked for the Peasant Newspaper. At this time, the writer created more than forty tales dedicated to the factory Ural folklore. Since 1930, work began in the book publishing house of Sverdlovsk. The writer was expelled from the party in 1937 (reinstated a year later). Having lost his job in the publishing house because of this incident, he decided to dedicate free time tales that, like Ural gems, "shimmered" in his "Malachite Box". In 1939, this most famous work author, which is a collection of fairy tales. For the "Malachite Box" the writer was awarded State Prize THE USSR. Bazhov later supplemented this book with new tales.

Bazhov's writing path

The writer's path of this author began relatively late. His first book "The Urals were" appeared in 1924. The most significant stories of Pavel Bazhov were published only in 1939. This is the aforementioned collection of tales, as well as "The Green Filly" - autobiographical story about childhood.

The Malachite Box later included new works: Tales of the Germans (year of writing - 1943), Key Stone, created in 1942, Tales of Gunsmiths, as well as other creations of Bazhov. Later works The author can be called the term "tales" not only because of the formal features of the genre (the presence in the narrative of a fictional narrator with an individual characteristic of speech), but also because they go back to the secret tales of the Urals - oral tradition prospectors and miners, who are distinguished by a combination of fabulous and real-life elements.

Features of Bazhov's tales

The writer considered the creation of tales the main business of his life. In addition, he was engaged in editing almanacs and books, including those devoted to the Urals local history.

Initially folklore are the tales processed by Bazhov. "Secret tales" he heard as a boy from Khmelinin. This man became the prototype of Slyshko's grandfather - the narrator from the work " Malachite Box". Bazhov later had to declare officially that this was just a trick, and he did not just record other people's stories, but created his own based on them.

The term "skaz" later entered the folklore of the Soviet era to define the prose of workers. However, after some time it was established that this concept does not mean a new phenomenon in folklore: tales actually turned out to be memories, legends, traditions, fairy tales, that is, those that already existed for a long time genres.

Naming his works with this term, Bazhov Pavel Petrovich, whose tales were associated with folklore tradition, took into account not only the tradition of this genre, which implies the obligatory presence of a narrator, but also the existence of oral ancient legends of the miners of the Urals. From these folklore works, he adopted the main feature of his creations - a mixture of fairy-tale images in the narration.

Fantastic heroes of fairy tales

The main theme of Bazhov's tales is a simple man, his skill, talent and work. Communication with the secret foundations of our life, with nature is carried out with the help of powerful representatives of the mountain magical world. Perhaps the most striking among the characters of this kind is the Mistress of the Copper Mountain, whom Stepan, the hero of the Malachite Box, met. She helps Danila - the character of the tale called " Stone Flower"- to reveal talent. And after he refuses to make the Stone Flower on his own, he is disappointed in him.

In addition to this character, the Great Poloz is interesting, who is responsible for the gold. His image was created by the writer on the basis of the ancient superstitions of the Khanty and Mansi, as well as Ural legends, will accept miners and miners.

Grandmother Sinyushka, another heroine of Bazhov's tales, is a character related to the famous Baba Yaga.

The connection between gold and fire is represented by the Jumping Fireball that dances over the gold mine.

Radkevich V.

Either kind or harsh
The dawn descends from the stone mountains.
You are beautiful, the land of Bazhov,
Labor Ural-land!

Flowers sprout through the rocks
The mountain blazes with fire

These new ones write tales
Miners and craftsmen.

Man-made fire burning
Polished Gems

In every stone-flowers bloom...

STONE FLOWER
Andrey Usachev

The mistress of the Copper Mountain is rich:
In the chambers of her golden carpets,
Crystal chandeliers, diamond arches...
What, imagine, she needs gifts,
If this mistress has a mountain
Full of malachite and silver?!

Everything was not nice to the rich hostess.
But the poor master Danila came to visit:
With a bow, appearing in a luxurious hall,
He handed me a modest malachite flower.

A poor young man was met royally,
Although he did not bring a diamond bouquet.
This story has become a legend...
Such etiquette works wonders!

I hope the smart reader understands:
Gift for friend and mom
More expensive is not the more expensive ...
And the one
What is made by hand!
