a) match one classic/past book with a modern one

Madame Bovary - Flaubert
and
Love in the Time of Cholera - Garcia Marquez


b) has it literature as we know it changed much throughout time in terms of concept writinf and story making?

I am inclined to believe it has stuck with the same ideology of what a story sets out to be. I think it is stuck in one main frame and does or has not improved much. This does not include language usage and styles.
The same goes with films.

Many links are missing between Flaubert and Marquez. Do you want to study theory? I don't know what ideology you say has remained the same? Postmodern literature strives to be without ideology while modernist literature had a variety of ideology and victorian literature generally had moralistic/humanistic ideology. Ideology has gone through a lot of transformation before dying in Postmodernism.

Note: Many people reject postmodern literature. I find non-postmodern contemporary literature to be inferior copy of the great literatures of the past. Science fiction is a particularly rising postmodern genre in literature and in cinema.
