Format is approximately 5 inches by 7.75 inches. 132 pages. DJ is in a plastic sleeve and has substantial wear tears soiling and chips. Some page discoloration. Jean Cocteau has for long been known as one of the most outstanding figures of contemporary literature. His films his plays his books have won him international renown but it is only recently that his stature as a modern novelist has been appreciated. In 1966 Children of the Game was first published in England winning instant and wide acclaim. The Impostor is another one of his more important works. At the beginning of the war there was complete confusion: confusion which persisted until the end. For like a fruit the short war might have grown and dropped from the tree whilst a war prolonged for exceptional reasons firmly attached to the branch went on growing ever presenting new problems and new lessons to be learnt. The Impostor is set in France at the outset of the 1914-1918 war evoking the atmosphere and environment of that period through the reactions and interactions of the characters. Thomas at the age of 16 lives in a self-created world of fantasy. Adopting an impressive pose he encounters the widowed Princesse de Bormes and her daughter Henriette. The girl falls in love with Thomas nor is her mother indifferent to this imaginative young "impostor." The fate love and grief of these and other vital characters is played out alongside the vicissitudes of the war. Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau 5 July 1889 - 11 October 1963 was a French poet playwright novelist designer filmmaker visual artist and critic. Jean Cocteau insisted on calling himself a poet classifying the great variety of his works - poems novels plays essays drawings films - as "poésie" "poésie de roman" "poésie de thêatre" "poésie critique" "poésie graphique" and "poésie cinématographique". He is best known for his novels Le Grand Écart 1923 Le Livre Blanc 1928 and Les Enfants Terribles 1929; the stage plays La Voix Humaine 1930 La Machine Infernale 1934 Les Parents Terribles 1938 La Machine à écrire 1941 and L'Aigle à deux têtes 1946; and the films The Blood of a Poet 1930 Les Parents Terribles 1948 Beauty and the Beast 1946 Orpheus 1949 and Testament of Orpheus 1960 which alongside Blood of a Poet and Orpheus constitute the so-called Orphic Trilogy. He was described as "one of the avant-garde's most successful and influential filmmakers" by AllMovie. The Impostor is Cocteau's breakthrough novel on the horrors of World War I. Thomas the Impostor is set at the outbreak of the First World War and is based on Jean Cocteau's experiences in the Red Cross on the Western Front. This is not however your typical World War One narrative but a fascinating example of war writing from a quintessentially artistic imagination. Guillaume Thomas is a boy too young to join the army but determined to get to the front at any cost. He is aided by the magnificent Princesse de Borme who uses her energy influence and allure to put together a chaotic ambulance convoy to help wounded soldiers. Together they travel all over France until Guillaume finally gets his wish and joins a company of soldiers. While the princess pursues charity work with the wounded Henriette falls in love with Guillaume. However Guillaume resplendent in army uniform and issued with a shiny revolver is lost like a child in a fantasy land of their own creation. At the novel's denouement he clings to his imposture but in mind if not body he has grasped the real meaning of war. This visionary novel is a "hymn to the cult of youth" in which World War I battlefields become an exaggerated spectacle where fiction and reality are inseparable. It may come a surprise to some that Jean Cocteau actually fought in the First World War but Thomas the Impostor is his idiosyncratic response to the author's own experiences at the front. This is an excellent introduction to the writing of Jean Cocteau. Peter Owen Limited hardcover
