Reading The Great Impersonation | Alexandria
Read The Great Impersonation by E. Phillips Oppenheim. Switching identities between mortal enemies ignites this WWI spy thriller where a German aristocrat impersonates his British doppelganger. Beyond its twisting plot, the novel daringly suggests that personality - not appearance - truly defines identity, challenging beliefs about human nature. The radical notion that we can completely become someone else still haunts our digital age of avatars and aliases.
