| Summary | "The Man Who Lost Himself" by H. De Vere Stacpoole is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Victor Jones, a young man feeling the weight of failure after losing a critical business contract in London. As he grapples with his financial woes and sense of identity, he encounters a mysterious stranger named Rochester, who bears an unsettling resemblance to him. Their meeting sets the stage for a series of misunderstandings and adventures that challenge both characters' perceptions of self. At the start of the narrative, Victor Jones is depicted as a defeated figure in the Savoy Hotel, reflecting on his life choices and recent failures. After a chance encounter with a stranger who looks exactly like him, Jones is drawn into a whirlwind of events that leave him questioning his own identity. The opening chapters explore his initial confusion, the impact of alcohol on his decision-making, and the consequences of becoming an unwitting part of Rochester's life following a fateful night. This intriguing premise hints at elements of mistaken identity and the psychological complexities of self-perception, establishing a narrative that promises both tension and humor as the plot unfolds.
