This article examines the phenomenon of intertextuality in contemporary foreign literature and its influence on readers’ perception and interpretation of texts. It explores how modern authors integrate references, quotations, allusions, and stylistic echoes from classical and contemporary works to create multilayered narratives. Special attention is given to the role of intertextuality in shaping meaning, deepening cultural context, and engaging readers in an active process of decoding literary connections. The study highlights that intertextual practices not only enrich literary expression but also challenge readers to expand their cultural and intellectual horizons, fostering critical thinking and interpretive skills. Moreover, the research analyzes how intertextuality contributes to the formation of new aesthetic experiences and the transformation of literary traditions in the global context.
