Bazhov's solar stone summary: reader's diary. Tales of Bazhov

There lived in the Urals a very good, but no longer young, malachite master. Therefore, the owner decided that the master would pass on his craft further. For this reason, he ordered his showman to find an apprentice for this master. The clerk brought many guys, but they were not suitable for the master. All the boys were afraid of the master, and their parents did not want to send their child to the master. So Danila ended up with the master. The boy was an orphan, so there was no one to stand up for him. Danila surprised the master from the first day; he pointed out the mistake. After all, the boy’s eye was precise, he could feel the stone and how the pattern lay on it in order to show its beauty.

The master lived alone, since his wife died and he had no children, which is why the master became attached to the orphan.

The owner himself heard about the young talented master. After this, they began to trust Danila to make complex things from malachite.

One day he was given a drawing of a special bowl and allowed to make it without any time limit. But the clerk had to make sure that the master did not help Danila. Danila began to work on the bowl, but he was not happy with the work. He didn't like the cup; he didn't see any shine in it. Having received permission from the clerk, Danila the master decided to make a new bowl according to his wishes, he wanted to show all the beauty of the stone. One old master told a story about a stone flower, which is located in a cave near the Mistress of the Copper Mountain. Whoever manages to see this stone flower understands all the charm of the stone, but forever ends up in the mountain masters of the Mistress of the Copper Mountain.

Danila the master began to wander around and look for such a flower so that, using its analogue, he could make his own bowl, which could convey all the beauty of the stone. One day, while wandering around the mine and looking for a stone for his bowl, Danila heard female voice, who advised to look for the stone at Snake Mountain. Near this mountain, Danila found the stone he needed and began work. Work on the bowl went well right away, but soon stopped. Didn't go out top part flower. Danila even told his fiancee that he was ready to postpone the wedding, he was so carried away by work.

Danila really wanted to look at this impeccable, gorgeous stone flower and again went to Snake Mountain. There he saw the Mistress of the Copper Mountain. Having heard his story that the bowl did not work out, she offered to take new stone, but create the bowl yourself. Despite everything, Danila, nevertheless, wanted to look at this beautiful flower. The mistress of the mountain told Danila that when he saw the flower, he would not want to live and work among people. He will return back to Copper Mountain. But Danila was persistent, and he managed to look at the beautiful stone flower.

Returning home, he even told his bride that they would soon get married. But one day Danila the master began to feel sad, and one day he took his cup, which he thought was not coming out, and broke it. After which he left the house and no one ever saw him again.

They searched for Danila for a long time. Some said that he lost his mind and died in the forest, while others said that the Mistress of the Mountain took the master to her mountain master.

Summary of Remarque Shadows in Paradise
The main character of the novel, Robert Ross, talks about American life 44-45 years of the twentieth century. During the war, many families fled from Europe to America, finding themselves under the yoke of the Nazi regime.

Of course, you won’t find a place in all the land opposite our Ilmen stone storehouse. There is nothing to argue about here, because it has been written about in all sorts of languages: in the Ilmen Mountains there are stones from all over the world.

Such a place, of course, could not pass by Lenin’s eye. In 1920, Vladimir Ilyich, by a personal decree, declared these places as protected areas. So that, it means, industrialists and hitters of all sorts by the scruff of the neck, and save these mountains for science, for future times.

It seems like a simple matter. It is known that Lenin’s eye saw not just on the ground, but under the ground. Well, I foresaw these mountains too. Only our old miners still don’t quite believe it. It can’t be like that, they say. The war was then on full force was walking. Comrade Stalin had to hurry from front to front, and then suddenly the pebbles floated out. This case did not pass without incident. And in their own way they tell it like this.

There lived two artel brothers: Maxim Vakhonya and Sadyk Uzeev, nicknamed Sandugach. One, then, is Russian, the other is Bashkir, but they have the same thing - from an early age they worked in the mines and mines and were always together. They say there was great friendship between them, to the surprise of people. But they themselves did not resemble each other at all. Vakhonya is a heavy man, a beard down to his navel, straight shoulders, a scary fist to look at, a bearish leg, and the conversation is thick and boorish. It will hum slowly, and then it will carry the flies to the side half a fathom, but its character is soft. In a drunken case, when some thorn irritates him, he only threatens:

Get away from sin, boy! No matter how I accidentally hit you.

Sadyk was not very tall, he was thin, he had seven hairs instead of a beard, and they were out of place, but he had a strong vein. A slaughterer, one might say, is also of the first article. That's how it happens. There’s really no one to look at, but I’m taxed at work. His character was cheerful. The great hunter will sing, and dance, and blow the kurai. It is not for nothing that he was given the nickname Sandugach, in our language a nightingale.

These Maxim Vakhonya and Sadyk Sandugach came together to live on the same path. Not everything, of course, was earned for the treasury and the owners. It also happened himself - friend they shoveled the sands and looked for their share. It happened and they found it, but it wasn’t in their pockets. It is known that the artisan's happiness was shown one road. Everyone will take a walk, as expected, and go back to work, only somewhere new: maybe it will be more fun there.

Both are single. Why should they sit in one place! We collected our knapsacks, grabbed our tools, and off we went.

Vakhonya hums:

Let's go and see where people live well.

Sadyk walks cheerfully and chuckles:

Walk, Maximka, walk! For the new mysteries, the squeaky squeak sticks to the hands. The dear fireplace is jumping to the baradam. One time your barada will become half a pound.

“Probably, not a single one will stay with you,” Vakhonya laughed it off and cackled like a lech: ho-ho-ho!

This is how two artel brothers lived. They drank their fill of sweets: Sadyk lost his right eye while working, Vakhonya couldn’t hear at all in his left ear.

They, of course, visited the Ilmen Mountains more than once.

How Civil War began, both old men ended up in the same places. According to the miner's position, of course, both took a rifle and went to fight for Soviet power. Then, after Kolchak was driven to Siberia, the political instructor said:

Fiery, they say, thank you, fellow old men, on behalf of Soviet power, but only now, as you are disabled underground workers, apply to the labor front. Besides,” he says, “you violate front visibility, like one is crooked and the other is deaf.”

It’s offensive to old people, but what can you do? The political instructor said correctly - we need to see what is happening at the mines. We went straight to Ilmeny, and there were quite a crowd of people there, and all the hits were the latest. This one doesn’t feel sorry for anything, just to earn more rubles. He will quickly fill up all the holes and mines if it seems beneficial. It’s clear that the merchant is behind the hit, but he’s not showing himself, he’s hiding. Our old people were thinking - what to do? They ran to Mias, to Zlatoust, talked about it, but it didn’t do any good. They wave it off:

There’s no time for that now, and there are chapters for that. They started asking about these chapters, and my head started to become cloudy. There is one chapter for copper work, another for gold, and a third for stone. But what if there is everything on the Ilmen Mountains? The old people then decided.

Let's go all the way to Comrade Lenin himself. He'll probably find the time.

They began to get ready, only then the old people had a falling out. Vakhonya says: for the show you need to take one expensive stone, which is cut. Well, and golden sand too. But Sadyk got his way: take a sample of every stone, because it’s a scientific matter.

They argued and argued, and then they agreed: everyone will pack their own bag, as it seems best to them.

Vakhonya went to great lengths about zircons and phenacites. I ran to Kochkar and spotted blue euclasics and pink topaz there. Golden sand too. His bag came out neatly and the stone was all a gem. And Sadyk made a mess that he couldn’t even lift. Vakhonya rumbles:

Ho-ho-ho. You could stuff all the mountains into a bag! Figure it out, they say, Comrade Lenin, which is a matter that no one needs.

Sadyk is offended by this.

“You are a stupid person,” he says, “Maksimka, if you understand Lenin’s tank like that.” He needs science, but doesn’t care about the market price of the stone.

Let's go to Moscow. Of course, there were some mistakes along the way. At one point Vakhonya fell behind the train. Although Sadyk had his heart set on him, he became very sad and even fell ill. After all, we were always together, but then we were separated on such an important matter. And carrying two bags of stones is a hassle for one. They walk around asking if you are carrying salt in bags for speculation? And once you show the stones, now there will be questions about what such stones are for, for personal enrichment or for a museum? In a word, anxiety.

Vakhonya still managed to somehow manage to catch up with the train just outside Moscow. They were so happy with each other that they made the entire carriage audience laugh to tears: they began hugging. Then they started arguing again about the stones, which bag was needed, only softer, with a joke. As they began to approach Moscow, Vakhonya said:

I'll carry your bag. It’s more convenient for me and not so funny. You are smaller and your bag will be smaller. Moscow, go ahead, not Mias! This requires order.

The first night, of course, we broke up at the station, and in the morning we went around Moscow to look for Comrade Lenin. They quickly found them and rushed straight into the Council of People's Commissars with the bags. There they ask what kind of people they are, where they are from, what their business is.

Sadyk answers:

We would like to show Bachka Lenin the fireplace.

Vakhonya immediately buzzes:

The places are rich. It is necessary to save from hits. There was no success at home. You definitely need to see Comrade Lenin.

Well, we took them to Vladimir Ilyich. They began to talk about the matter, they were in a hurry, interrupting each other.

Vladimir Ilyich listened, listened and said:

Let's go one by one, guys. I see that you have a state matter, you need to understand it.

Here Vakhonya, where the agility came from, let’s lay out your expensive stones, and he himself buzzes: from such a hole, from such a mine, did he take the stone, and how much is it worth in rubles.

Vladimir Ilyich asks:

Where do these stones go?

Vakhonya answers - more for decoration. Well, there are rings, earrings, beads and all that stuff. Vladimir Ilyich thought about it, admired the stones a little and said:

We can wait with this.

Then it was Sadyk’s turn. He untied his bag and let’s throw the stones on the table, and he himself said:

Amazon-fireplace, Calumbit-fireplace, Labrador-fireplace..

Vladimir Ilyich was surprised:

I see from you different countries stones.

Yes, Lenin! You're telling the truth. The fireplace came running from every direction. Stone brain fireplace, and that is. A solar fireplace was found in the Eremeevskaya pit.

Vladimir Ilyich smiled and said:

We probably don't need a stone brain. This goodness can be found even without a mountain. But we need a sun stone. It's more fun to live with him.

Because, Bachka Lenin, our fireplace is good because it is warmed by the sun. In that place the mountains turn and come out into the steppe.

“This,” says Vladimir Ilyich, “is most valuable, that the mountains turned towards the sun and do not fence off the steppe.

Then Vladimir Ilyich called and ordered all the stones to be rewritten and the strictest decree to be made so that all the violence on the Ilmen Mountains would be stopped and this place would be made a protected area. Then he rose to his feet and said:

Thank you, old people, for your concern. You did a great job! State! - And, you know, I shook their hands.

Well, those, of course, are out of their minds. Vakhoni’s entire beard is covered with tears like dew, and Sadyk shakes his beard and says:

Ay, Lenin! Ay, Lenin!

Here Vladimir Ilyich wrote a note to appoint old people as guards for the reserve and assign them pensions.

Only our old people never made it home. On the roads at that time, it is known how they drove. We went to one place and guessed another. The war there, apparently, was in full swing, and, although one was deaf and the other crooked, both went to fight again.

From that time on, there was no word about these old people, and the decree on the reserve soon came. Now this reserve is called Leninsky.

Representing a collection of ancient legends that circulated among miners.

P. P. Bazhov

"Mistress of the Copper Mountain"

This is one of the most significant, well-known and beloved works of the book “Ural Tales” by readers. We offer a brief summary of the contents of this work below.

A young worker named Stepan once saw a girl in the forest - beautiful, with a long braid and wearing clothes made of malachite. He realized that this was the Mistress of the Copper Mountain herself. The girl told him that she had business with him. We need to go to the factory clerk and tell him to get out of the Krasnogorsk mine. The Mistress promised Stepan that she would marry him if he fulfilled her orders. Then she turned into a lizard and ran away. The next morning Stepan went to the clerk and handed over everything that was ordered. For this they flogged him, took him down the mountain, and chained him up. At the same time, they ordered to extract a lot of malachite. The Mistress helped Stepan because he was not afraid to fulfill her order. He mined a lot of malachite. The Mistress showed him her dowry. And then she began to ask if he agreed to take her as his wife. Stepan thought and said that he already had a fiancée. The Mistress praised him for not coveting her wealth. She gave Stepan a box of jewelry for his bride. And then she said that he would live richly, but he must forget her. Soon he got married, built a house, and had children. But he was not happy. Stepan began going into the forest to hunt and every time he looked at the Krasnogorsk mine. Stepan could not forget the Mistress. One day he went into the forest and did not return - he was found dead.

"Malachite Box"

Another very famous work cycle "Ural Tales". Summary " Malachite casket"presented in this article. This tale is a continuation of the story about the Mistress of the Copper Mountain. Stepan died, but the malachite box remained with his widow Nastasya. Jewelry was kept in it, given by the Mistress. Only Nastasya didn’t wear them and wanted to sell them. There were many people who wanted to buy the box. But everyone offered a small price. There was another reason why she kept the box with her. Youngest daughter Tatyana loved these decorations very much. Tanyusha grew up and, thanks to a stranger who asked to stay at their house for the night, she learned to embroider with silk and beads. And she was such a craftswoman that she began to earn a lot of money. Soon the master saw the girl and was so struck by her beauty that he invited her to become his wife. She agreed, but set the condition that she would marry him if he showed her the queen in a room made of malachite made by her father. The master promised to fulfill her wish. Finding herself in the queen’s malachite chamber, the girl leaned against the wall and melted. Since then, no one has heard anything about her, they only began to notice that the Mistress of the Copper Mountain began to double.

"Stone Flower"

This work is the last of the series about the Mistress of the Copper Mountain, which was created by Pavel Bazhov. “Ural Tales”, as you know, includes several stories about this amazing beauty. " Stone Flower" - the story of the orphan Danilka, who at the age of 12 became an apprentice to a malachite master. The boy was talented and the teacher liked him. When Danila grew up, he became an excellent craftsman. He had a dream. He wanted to create a malachite bowl that looked like a flower. I even found a suitable stone. But he just couldn’t cut out a beautiful flower. One day he met the Mistress of the Copper Mountain herself. He asked her to show him her stone flower. The Mistress tried to dissuade him from this, but he insisted. He saw the flower of the Mistress of the Copper Mountain and from then on he completely lost peace. Then he broke his unfinished bowl and left. He was never seen again, but there were rumors that he was serving with the Mistress of the Copper Mountain.

"Silver Hoof"

P. P. Bazhov wrote “Ural Tales” for children, but they are also interesting for adults. One of the stories that appeals to readers of all ages is “The Silver Hoof.” Lonely old man Kokovanya sheltered an orphan. Grandfather worked every day, and his granddaughter put things in order in the hut and cooked. In the evenings, Kokovanya told the girl fairy tales. And one day he told her about a magic goat with a silver hoof, which he knocks on, and precious stones appear in that place. Once a girl was waiting for her grandfather from hunting and saw through the window that her cat was playing with the same goat from the fairy tale. She ran out to look at him. And the goat jumped onto the roof, began to beat with his hoof, and precious stones fell from under his feet. Grandfather and granddaughter collected them and lived comfortably for the rest of their lives.

"Sinyushkin Well"

The book “Ural Tales” includes the story of the good fellow Ilya. He was left an orphan early. The only inheritance he received was a sieve full of feathers from Lukerya’s grandmother, who instructed her grandson not to pursue riches. One day Ilya decided to take a short route to the mine. And this path lay through the swamp. Ilya felt thirsty. He looks, and in the swamp there is an area with clean water like a well. He decided to drink this water, lay down on the ground, and from the water Sinyushka stretched out her hands to him. He managed to overcome her charms, he stood up and spat on her hand. And she began to tease him that he would not be able to drink water from her well. Ilya promised Sinyushka that he would return and left.

The fellow kept his promise. Ilya returned, tied the ladle to a perch and used it to scoop up water from the well. Sinyushka was amazed at his ingenuity and promised to show her wealth. Ilya came to the well again. And girls come up to him with trays full of jewelry. He remembered that his grandmother had punished him and began to refuse everything. An eighteen-year-old beauty approached him with a sieve containing berries and feathers. Ilya realized that this was Sinyushka. He took the sieve from her hands. When I came home, the berries turned into gems. Ilya began to live richly, but he could not forget Sinyushka. One day he met a girl very similar to her, and he married her.

This tale is about the fact that the main riches in life are not gold and gems. Sinyushkin's well is a test that only those who do not envy, are not greedy and remember advice can pass.

"Jumping Firefly"

The book that Bazhov P. wrote - “Ural Tales” - includes a story about a gold mine. One day the men were sitting by the fire, and with them was the boy Fedyunka. And suddenly they saw a red-haired girl who jumped out of the fire. She danced, and then stopped near a pine tree and stamped her foot. According to legend, this is how she indicated the place where gold should be looked for. Only she deceived this time - there was nothing under the pine tree. Soon Fedyunka saw Jumping again. This time she told him right place pointed out. The boy found gold and lived comfortably for 5 years. The people heard about it, and everyone rushed to that mine for gold. People were coming there from all directions. But the gold disappeared there because of this.

Pavel Bazhov

Sun stone

It seems like a simple matter. It is known that Lenin’s eye saw not just on the ground, but under the ground. Well, I foresaw these mountains too. Only our old miners still don’t quite believe it. It can’t be like that, they say. The war was then in full force. Comrade Stalin had to hurry from front to front, and then suddenly the pebbles floated out. This case did not pass without incident. And in their own way they tell it like this.

There lived two artel brothers: Maxim Vakhonya and Sadyk Uzeev, nicknamed Sandugach. One, then, is Russian, the other is Bashkir, but they have the same thing - from an early age they worked in the mines and mines and were always together. They say there was great friendship between them, to the surprise of people. But they themselves did not resemble each other at all. Vakhonya is a heavy man, a beard up to his navel, straight shoulders, a scary fist to look at, a bearish leg, and a thick, butor-like conversation. It will hum slowly, and then it will carry the flies to the side half a fathom, but its character is soft. In a drunken case, when some thorn irritates him, he only threatens:

- Get away from sin, boy! No matter how I accidentally hit you.

These Maxim Vakhonya and Sadyk Sandugach came together to live on the same path. Not everything, of course, was earned for the treasury and the owners. Sometimes they shoveled the sands, looking for their share. It happened and they found it, but it wasn’t in their pockets. It is known that the artisan's happiness was shown one road. Everyone will take a walk, as expected, and go back to work, only somewhere new: maybe it will be more fun there.

One day, an old malachite carver had a talented student. The old man rejoiced at his abilities, the clerk rejoiced at the impeccably completed work, and the master began to trust him with the most expensive orders. The young master would live and live, but he became sad and often went uphill. I kept looking for an extraordinary stone flower in order to comprehend the very essence of beauty and harmony. He achieved his goal - he met the Mistress of the mountain, and saw a stone flower. To your own detriment.

The meaning of the story

The story tells about a talented young master Danil, who in a wonderful way mastered the craft of a malachite carver, but this was not enough for him. His soul yearned for unique knowledge, for which he abandoned ordinary earthly life.

The old master Prokopich did not need students, and he dismissed them all, considering them unsuitable for the malachite business. But one day they assigned him a boy who quickly showed amazing talent and ingenuity. The meeting with Prokopyich was a happy turn in fate for Danilka: in him he found both a generous teacher and a caring father.

Danilka had everything: ability, hard work, universal recognition of his skill, and even fame. He lived a calm and satisfying life, he had everything for work necessary tools and the best stone. He got himself married good girl Katerina. But he was not happy.

Any completed work seemed to him insufficiently virtuosic, uninspiring, unreal. He believed that there was something in the world that would allow him to one day live out his dream. These thoughts of his were spurred on by the gloomy stories of the villagers about the existence of the Mistress of the Copper Mountain and the unknown Stone Flower. Danilko really wanted to look at this flower in order to reproduce it in stone.

He began to disappear from home more and more often. Fellow villagers constantly saw him in the fields, then in the meadows, then near the abandoned mine near Zmeinaya Gorka. They began to say that the boy had gone crazy, and they were not far from the truth. Some kind of obsession was directly guiding Danilka. It was as if he was looking for a treasure inaccessible to others. And the mistress of the Copper Mountain always keeps an eye on such people, and she began to give the master tips. But the better his work became with her help, the more he began to yearn for an unattainable ideal.

No precautions helped. Even the Mistress's own warnings did not stop him. She showed the master a stone flower. And he could not resist this craving. On the night before his marriage, he smashed his very own with a hammer. better job(now he saw all her shortcomings) and disappeared in an unknown direction...
