The results of the research show that modern Egyptian prose, mastering the intellectual experience of world culture within the frame of the national cultural heritage, revealed a new technique and brought new contents to literature. The innovation is defined by orientation of the authors to mythological transplantation of figurative system. There is a multilevel organization of the text, an encryption of semantic layers, destruction of a traditional subject basis.
