Annotation
The article is a study of peculiar intertwining of the Western and Eastern traditions in one of the earliest works of Marguerite Yourcenar - her drama Le dialogue dans le marecage (1929). The playwright develops the idea of continuity or even unity of the ancient Oriental culture and the modern Occidental civilization and the literary traditions of the West through a combination of Christian symbolism, motifs of antique myth and the poetics of the Oriental theater.
