The Man Who Lost Himself
The Man Who Lost Himself is a 1918 comedy-drama novel by Irish author H. De Vere Stacpoole. The story follows Victor Jones, an American who arrives in London and discovers he is the exact Doppelgänger of a British aristocrat named Rochester. This chance encounter leads to a series of mistaken identities and adventures that challenge both men's perceptions of self and identity. The novel explores themes of self-perception, identity, and the humorous consequences of confusion.
