He was one of the foremost artists of the surrealist, avant-garde, and Dadaist movements and an influential figure in early 20th century art. 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." Though his body of work encompassed many different mediums, Cocteau insisted on calling himself a poet, classifying the great variety of his works - poems, novels, plays, essays, drawings, films - as "poésie", "poésie de roman", "poésie de thêatre", "poésie critique", "poésie graphique" and "poésie cinématographique"'. (Wiki) ***'Jean Cocteau has for long been known as one of the most outstanding figures of contemporary literature. His films, his plays, his books, have won him international renown, but it is only lately that his stature as a modern novelist has been appreciated. In 1955 "Children of the Game" was first published in England, winning instant and wide acclaim. "The Impostor" is set in France at the outset of the 1914-1918 war, evoking the atmosphere and environment of that period through the reactions and interactions of the characters. The author has not only recreated an era, but has also provided an unforgettable story. The realism and lyricism of Jean Cocteau's style are combined to form a classic of the twentieth century.'

From translator's note: "When I first saw Jean Cocteau's film, I considered it a rare experience in the realm of imagination. I was drawn to it again and again over the years. Imagine my delight when I learned that Cocteau had published his scenario in book form and had written for it an exciting commentary. It proved once again that this film is one of the greatests classics of the advance guard cinema and a masterpiece among the wrritings of Cocteau. Since it has often been my pleasure, in my career as a singer, to introduce to American audiences many unusual French songs, I take great pride in bringing to you now, in the role of a translator, this great piece of French visual music. I believe that those of you who have seen the film will discover a new excitement in the following pages and those of you who did not, will find an unforgettable experience in poetic and visual sorcery." - Lily Pons Printed in the United States of America. 53 pages.
