Years after Martin Guerre vanished from his village, a man who looks and talks like him comes home, is welcomed by the family, and lives with his wife. Doubts grow, a court case follows, and Dumas tells, from the records of a real French trial, how a whole community tried to decide who this man truly was.
A famous case of stolen identity, the same story later filmed as The Return of Martin Guerre. Download the free EPUB.
