Summary "The Great Impersonation" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. This intriguing narrative revolves around Everard Dominey, a troubled Englishman who, after a long period of isolation in Africa, returns to a world rife with secrets, identities, and political intrigue. The story hints at themes of duality, duty, and the search for purpose in a pre-war Europe, as well as exploring Dominey’s complex history and relationship with another character, Baron Leopold Von Ragastein. At the start of the novel, Everard Dominey finds himself recovering in an unfamiliar setting after a taxing journey through the African wilderness. Awakening to find himself under the care of Baron Von Ragastein, whom he bears a striking resemblance to, Dominey begins unraveling the circumstances of his current plight. The conversation between the two men reveals their backgrounds and the stark contrasts in their life choices; while Dominey has drifted aimlessly, Von Ragastein serves with a sense of purpose. This opening sets the stage for further developments, as it is revealed that Von Ragastein plans to assume Dominey's identity, signifying the looming intrigue of deception and the intricate web of relationships that will unfold throughout the story.
