The aim of the research is to determine the features of the material world and its functions in the novel “The Eternal Forest” by N. Musin. The poetics of the objective world is considered as an important component of artistic thinking, one of the significant cultural components in the writer’s creative work. Bashkir literary studies and literary criticism to a certain extent have already touched upon the issues related to the problems of poetics, the peculiarities of the artistic world of the prose writer. The paper is original in that it is the first to provide a holistic description of the objective world in the Bashkir writer’s prose, to reveal the artistic specifics and functions of the world of things. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the features of the artistic functioning of the material world in N. Musin’s prose are based on the artistic experience of literature in the late XX century in the depiction of the objective environment. A hero’s characterization through objective details becomes a peculiarity of N. Musin’s artistic worldview, in his writings, the world of things symbolizes both the inner world of a character and the philosophy of the author’s creative work. It is noted that in the works of the writer, the world of things is multifunctional, on the one hand, it highlights the author’s position and, on the other hand, it becomes a significant characteristic of the environment.
