Abstract

This article analyzes the problem of reality and literature interrelation and the problem of man and history relations. The research of the transcultural communica-tions in the artistic space, allows to define modern aesthetics as the universalistic func-tions. Such approach underlines research of modern variations of genre co-operation of form of novel and short story. Underlined narrative hierarchies' nuance peculiarities at the corresponding levels of fiction communication contribute to exposure of a artistic potential of historical prose works.
