A história do impostor Guillaume Thomas, para o qual a realidade a a ficção são indistinguíveis. Um hino ao culto da juventude, em meio à primeira guerra mundial. ( ) Un livre dont je n'ai pas compris l'intérêt. Etant donné le talent reconnu de Cocteau, je ne remet pas ce livre en cause. Je suis passé à côté. J'ai trouvé le style ampoulé, digne d'un Gide ou d'un Vallès, bref d'un auteur du XIXème siècle. Quant à l'histoire, je ne vois pas trop où Cocteau veut nous mener. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Cocteau's breakthrough novel on the horrors of World War I. Too young to fight, Thomas assumes a noble ancestry, adds a few extra years to his age, and becomes a soldier. In this guise, he meets the society star Princess de Bormes and her impressionable daughter Henriette. 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.
