The third volume contains autobiographical works by P. P. Bazhov — his essays, novellas, diary entries, and letters. Arranged in the chronological order of the events depicted, the essays and novellas not only form a coherent narrative about the writer's own life, but simultaneously provide a broad picture of the everyday life and labor of the Ural workers.
