The article is devoted to the analysis of the poetics of novels of I. Bobrowski: the principal structuring of artistic elements in the apparent fragmentation, free installation of graphic means. From the first sight, construction of works is spontaneous, there is no internal unity. But, in fact, «building» of each novel is thought out, there is a core around which all work is centered. Such a core in the novels by Bobrowski (and it was taken in his stories), the narrator speaks, as the author defines, “the master of narration”, who determines the internal unity of the novel: he freely connects time, space, country, people, and events. The main characters in his novels behave freely, openly say, sing, and dance. This is the main principle of Bobrowskii’s poetics, which defines the system of narration. People's conversational element is transferred to the writer using the wrong forms, the dialectal word formations due to which he achieves a special capacity, juiciness and imagery of artistic speech, accuracy, truthfulness, historical context.
