In this masterpiece by Jean Cocteau, published in 1923, the author's experience in Paris during World War I is explored through Thomas. The novel, initially considered scandalous, challenges the traditional view of war through an ironic and critical lens. Thomas, a sixteen-year-old, creates an alternative reality through imposture, generating trust and attraction in those around him. The story offers a series of unreal and surprising events, where Thomas plays a crucial role, influencing the characters around him.
Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau was a French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, film director, visual artist and critic. He was one of the foremost avant-garde artists of the 20th century and highly influential on the Surrealist and Dadaist movements, among others. The National Observer suggested that "of the artistic generation whose daring gave birth to Twentieth Century Art, Cocteau came closest to being a Renaissance man".
