P. Bazhov "The Stone Flower": a brief summary. "Stone flower" - fairy tale Bazhov

P.P. Bazhov is a unique writer. After all, fame came to him at the end of life, at the age of sixty. In 1939 his collection "The Malachite Box" is dated. Recognition of Pavel Petrovich Bazhov brought a unique author's treatment of the Uralic tales. This article is an attempt to write a short summary for one of them. "Stone Flower" - a tale of growing up and professional formation of the phenomenal master for the processing of Danila's gems.

The uniqueness of Bazhov's writing style

Pavel Bazhov, creating this masterpiece, as if he had threaded folk folklore of the Urals on a string, having thoroughly studied it, and wove it together again, combining in it the harmony of masterful literary exposition and the originality of the colorful dialects of the amazing land-the stone belt surrounding Russia.

The slender structure of the skaz emphasizes its brief content - "Stone Flower" is composed by the author perfectly. In it there is nothing superfluous, artificially tightening the flow of the plot. But at the same time, it is amazingly full of the native language of the people who inhabit this land. The author's language of Pavel Petrovich's presentation is his creative find. What is achieved by the melodiousness and uniqueness of Bazhov's writing style? Firstly, most often he uses dialectisms in a diminutive manner ("boy", "mahonka", "old man"). Secondly, he uses in the speech purely Ural word-building dialectisms ("finger-off", "lo-de"). Thirdly, the writer does not skimp on the use of proverbs and sayings.

Shepherd - Danilka Nedokumysh

In this article, devoted to the most famous Bazhovsky tale, we offer readers a brief summary of it. "Stone Flower" introduces us to the best in the processing of malachite by the elderly master Prokopych, looking for a successor. One by one he sends back the boys sent to him by the master in science, until a twelve-year-old, "tall in the legs", curly, thin, blue-eyed "little fellow" Danilka Nedokormish appears. He did not have the ability to become a palace servant, he could not "twaddle" around the owner. But he could "stand a day" at the picture, but was "slow-moving". He was capable of creativity, as evidenced by the summary. "Stone flower" tells that while working as a shepherd, the teenager "learned to play the horn nobly learned!" In the melody he could discern both the noise of the stream and the voices of the birds ...

Cruel punishment. Treatment in Vihorichi

Yes, he did not follow the "cows" once for playing. Paz he had them "at Yelnichnaya", where it was "the most wolf's place," and a few burrs were missing. As punishment punished his master executioner, brutalized from the silence of Danilka under the lashes, until he lost consciousness, and his grandmother Vihorikh went out. The kind grandmother knew all the herbs, and if Danilushka would have had her longer, he would have become, perhaps, an herbalist, and Bazhov PP would have written otherwise. "Stone Flower".

The plot is plotted exactly during the story of the old woman Vihorikhi. In her monologue, author's fiction of an original Ural writer is seen. And she tells Danila that in addition to open flowering plants there are also closed, secret, magical: the thorn flower of the fern in Ivanov's day, which opens the locks to its seer, and the stone flower blooming at the malachite rock on the serpentine feast. And the man who sees the second flower will be unhappy. Obviously then - the dream to see this unearthly beauty from the stone took the guy.

To study - to Prokopych

The clerk noticed that Danila began to walk around, and although he was still weak, he gave him to study Prokopych. He looked at the emaciated guy and went to the landowner - to ask to be taken. Krut was Prokopych in his sciences, he could and bole good for negligence to pierce the student-ineptitude. The masters really did it then in practice, and Bazhov PP. ("The Stone Flower") just described how it was ... But the landowner was unshakable. To learn ... Prokopych returned to his studio, and Danilka was already there, bent over unblinkingly, examining a piece of malachite, which he began to process. The master was surprised and asked that he noticed. And Danilka answers that he made an incorrect cut: in order to expose the unique pattern of this stone, it would be better to start the processing on the other side ... The master raschumelsya, resented the address of the upstart, "jerk" ... But this - only externally, and the self- He thought: "So, so ... Will you be good, guy ..." The wizard woke up in the middle of the night, the malachite collapsed, where the little boy said, "the beauty is unearthly ..." Many were surprised: "Well, the eye-eyed same!".

Prokopych's concern for Danilka

About the fact that the orphan miserable Prokopych fell in love with his son, the fairy tale "The Stone Flower" tells us. A brief summary of it tells us that he did not immediately accustom him to the trade. I could not bear the hard work of undernourishment, and the chemicals used in the "stone craft" could well knock down his poor health. Gave time to gain strength, sent work on the house to do, fed, dressed ...

One day the clerk (they say about such in Russia - "nettle seed") saw Danilka, whom the good master sent to the pond. The clerk noticed that the guy had grown stronger, that he was wearing new clothes ... He had questions ... Does his master deceive him by taking Danilka for his son? And what about training a craft? When will the benefit of his work be? And he went with Danilka to the workshop and began to ask questions: the tool, the materials, and the processing. Prokopyich was stupefied ... He did not teach the boy at all ...

The clerk is surprised at the skill of the guy

However, the summary of the story "The Stone Flower" tells us that he answered all Danilka, told everything, showed everything ... When the clerk, who had gone numb before, Prokopyich asked Danilka: "How do you know all this?" "Noticed," replies He's a "little fellow". Even the tears appeared before the eyes of the deeply moved old man, he thought: "I will teach everything, I will not hide anything ..." However, since then the clerk began to carry Danilka a job in malachite: caskets, plaques, everyones. Then - threaded things: "candlesticks", "leaves and petals" all sorts ... And as the guy made him a snake from malachite, the clerk's clerk informed: "The master has appeared!"

Barin appreciates craftsmen

The master decided to arrange the exam for Danilka. First, he ordered that Prokopych did not help him. And he wrote to his clerk: "Leave him a workshop with a machine, but I recognize him as a master if he chops me a cup ..." Even Prokopych did not know how to do this ... Whether the case is heard ... Danilko thought for a long time: where to start. However, the clerk does not quit, he wants to curry favor with the landlord, - says a very short content of the "Stone Flower". And Danilka did not conceal his talent, and he made the cup, as if alive ... The greedy shop assistant forced Danilka to make as many as three such items. He realized that Danilka could become a "gold mine", and henceforth did not intend to spare him, would torture him with work. Yes, only the master was clever.

He, checking the guy for the skill, decided to create better conditions for him to work more interesting. Obrowkom overlaid a small, returned to Prokopych (two handy to create). And he sent a complicated drawing of a clever bowl. And, not having determined the time, ordered her to do (though five years, let them think).

Wizard's Way

The fairy tale "The Stone Flower" is unusual and original. A brief summary of the Bazh works, in Eastern language, is the master's way. What is the difference between a master and an artisan? The artisan sees the drawing and knows how to reproduce it in the material. And the master understands and represents beauty, and then reproduces it. Danilka also looked critically at that cup: there are many difficulties, but little beauty. He asked the clerk for permission to do it in his own way. He thought about it, because the master asked for an exact copy ... And then he answered Danilke to make two cups: a copy and his own.

A party about making a bowl to the master

He first made a flower according to the drawing: everything is exact, calibrated. On this occasion, and a party at home made. The bride of Danilin, Katya Latemina, came with her parents and the master of stone. They look, approve of the cup. If we consider the story at this stage of its narrative, then everything seems to have turned out for Danilka with his profession and his personal life ... However, the short content of the book "The Stone Flower" is not just about complacency, but about high professionalism, looking for new ways of expression Talent.

Danilke does not like this job, he wants the leaves and flowers on the bowl to be alive. With this thought between the work he disappeared in the fields, looked closely, and, having looked narrowly, planned his cup as a dope bush. He starts from such thoughts. And when the guests at the table heard his words about the beauty of the stone, Danilka was interrupted by an old-old grandfather, in the past - a mountain master who had taught Prokopych. He told Danilke that he was not stupid, he worked simpler, otherwise it would be possible to get into the mountain masters of the Mistress of Copper Mountain. They work for her and create things of extraordinary beauty.

When Danilka asked what they were, these masters, special, grandfather replied that they had seen a stony flower and understood the beauty ... Have sunk this speech in the heart of a guy.

Stramonium cup

He put off his marriage, because he began to reflect on the second cup, conceived in a manner imitating dope-grass. Loving bride Katerina began to cry ...

What is the short content of the "Stone Flower"? Perhaps it is that the ways of high creativity are inscrutable. Here Danilka, for example, drew the motives of his crafts in nature. Wandered through the forests and meadows and found what inspired him, descended into the copper mine in Gumeski. And he was looking for a piece of malachite, suitable for making a bowl.

And then one day, when the guy, having carefully studied the next stone, disillusioned away, he heard a voice advising to look elsewhere - at Snake's hill. The advice was twice repeated to the master. And when Daniel looked back, he saw the transparent, barely perceptible, fleeting outlines of a woman.

The next day the master went there and saw the "malachite twisted". Ideally, this stone was suitable for a bowl - and its color is darker in the bottom, and veins in the right places. Immediately I started to work hard. Miraculously he managed to trim the bottom of the bowl. It turned out to be a natural dope bush. But when a cup of flower ground, lost the beauty of the bowl. Danilushko was completely lost sleep. "How can I fix it?" - he thinks. Yes, I looked at the tears of Katyusha and decided to marry!

Meeting with the Mistress of Copper Mountain

They also planned a wedding - at the end of September, under the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross of the Lord. On that day, the snakes gather for the winter ... Only Danilko decided to go to the Snake Hill to see the Mistress of Copper Mountain. Only she could help overpower the cup. The meeting took place ...

The first to speak was this fabulous woman. To know, she respected this master. I asked if the dope-cup came out. The guy confirmed. Then she advised him to continue to dare, to do something else. For her part, she promised help: he will find a stone for his thoughts.

But Danila began to ask him to show him a stone flower. She was dissuaded by the Mistress of Mount Copper, explained that although she does not hold anyone, but who saw him to her will come back. However, the master insisted. And she led him into her stone garden, where both leaves and flowers are all made of stone. She led Danila to the bush, where the wonderful bells grew.

He asked the master of the Mistress to give him a stone for making such bells, but the woman refused him, saying that she would do so if Daniel himself thought of them ... She said this, and the master was at the same place - on the Snake Hill.

Then Danila went to his bride to a party, but did not cheer. After leading Katya home, he returned to Prokopych. And at night, when the tutor slept, the guy broke his dope-cup, spat into the master's cup, and left. Where - unknown. Some said that they had gone mad, others - that they had gone to the Mistress of Copper Mountain as a mountain master to work.

On this inaccuracy, Bazhov's story "The Stone Flower" ends. This is not just an understatement, but a kind of "bridge" to the next tale.
