Abstract
The study aims to determine specific nature of ancient allusions in the modern American writer Donna Tartt’s debut novel. The work is the first to conduct a philological analysis of Antiquity reception in the novel, to examine the plot parallels, comparisons and juxtapositions of the characters, which help clarifying what the author meant by bringing together individuals from two cultural epochs captured in literature. The research findings amount to revealing the synthetic genre structure of the novel, a non-linear narrative model, a special university chronotope, the plot-forming role of ancient allusions in both the internal and external structures of the novel.
