Abstract
The article examines the role of ethnographic images in revealing the picture of the Tatar community’s everyday world in the early twentieth century. The study is based on the story “Magic Boots” by Gayaz Iskhaki, first published in 1916 in the 9th issue of the magazine “Аn”. The work of G. Iskhaki was well studied by Tatar literary critics both during the lifetime of the writer and after his death.
The novelty of our research lies in the study of ethnographic images in a historical context.
We analyze the characters’ perception of objects and details of everyday life to better understand the images, ideas and problems, introduced by the author in his story. The article systematizes the depth and scope of the study of this work in Tatar literary criticism and briefly describes the features characterizing this type of footwear in the Tatar environment. We prove that G. Iskhaki strives for ethnographic accuracy in creating an artistic whole.
