Nikita Demidov, a talented Tula gunsmith, was awarded Ural lands and factories by Peter I himself. This is how the story of the richest industrial dynasty of the Demidovs began, resourceful and enterprising, cruel and demanding, domineering and selfless. The history of this family is inextricably linked with the history of Russia. Evgeny Fedorov's "Stone Belt", a series of works dedicated to the Demidovs, is loved by readers for its historical authenticity and accuracy in detail, expressive speech of the characters, and an exciting plot. This edition publishes the novel "The Master of the Stone Mountains", dedicated to the last representatives of the dynasty: the famous philanthropist Nikolai Demidov and his youngest son Anatoly, the husband of Napoleon's niece and Prince San Donato. The descendants of the Tula industrialist, who received noble upbringing and education, come to the Ural factories less and less often and almost constantly live in the capital or in Europe: what will be the fate of the Stone Mountains under the new owners and will the family business continue?
