About this book

Dumas starts this account with a reflection on why strangers sometimes look alike, citing the false Demetrius in Russia and Perkin Warbeck as historical impostors. He then moves to 10 August 1557 and the French defeat at Saint-Quentin, where a nearby village is turned into a hospital and surgeons find a bloodied soldier on a mat with another soldier at his side. Martin Guerre is a sixteenth-century French case of mistaken identity.

Alexandre Dumas
