The Man Who Lost Himself

(1918)
A novel by

 
 
This is an extremely clever and entertaining story of lookalikes and the switching of identities! Our protagonist, a very poor American in England, meets his doppelganger, the wealthy Rochester in a fancy hotel. The two get along, but very soon the world announces the suicide of (the real) Rochester. From now on everything gets complicated, as the new Rochester falls in love with the old/real Rochester's woman...A very funny work but also a very astute social satire.
