For the Czech prose of this period these compositional principles are distinctive: catenary, analogy, colourful, iterative, heptadical and elliptical. The authors use the following compositional tools: portrait chapter, Methuselah figure, significant time, theme arc, deflective theme and theme short. The compositional means in question appear in the work of both home and in exile living authors. The richness and intensity of these means is most concentrated by prose writers, whose work is influenced by and linked to nationally different literature ( Hostovský, Kundera, Hrabal and others). The analysis of the compositional structure of Polish prose of the 1960s is shown in the works of Tadeusz Breza, Marie Kuncewiczowa, Stanisław Dygat, Igor Newerly, Tadeusz Nowak and Julian Kawalec.
