Thomas The Impostor (1925)
Thomas The Impostor is a 1925 French-language book written by Jean Cocteau.
Guillaume Thomas is desperate for thrills, glamour and adventure. At just 16 years old he has learned how much can be gained by lying. Cocteau's visionary novel is a 'hymn to the cult of youth' in which the WWI battlefields become an exaggerated spectacle where fiction and reality are inseparable.
