    Abstract:
    While Marco Polo‟s trips to China are remembered as « la route de la soie », this article shows that Stéphane Mallarmé‟s Contes Indiens represent an imaginary road towards a literary self. To better inscribe his own ethos, the poet rewrites Mary Summer‟s 1878 tales as if they were a rough stuff, to be sewed and embroidered with a few precious stones. In the end, Mallarmé emerges as author behind a borrowed mask of oriental otherness.
