Le General Dourakine
Juvenile literature, French literature, literature française
LE terrible général Dourakine est un homme dont les colères sont compensées par une réelle bonté et surtout un grand souci de la justice. Revenu à Gromlline, en Russie, en compagnie de la famille française Derigny, il se voit contraint d'accueillir en son château sa nièce Papofski et ses huit garnements. Plus d'une fois, la patience du général sera mise à rude épreuve, et il se débarrasserait volontiers de cette intruse s'il ne craignait qu'elle ne dénonce un prince polonais qui s'est réfugié clandestinement au château. Finalement, sur le conseil de son fidèle intendant Derigny, le général use d'un subterfuge qui trompe l'odieuse Papofski et lui permet de vivre en France, auprès de ceux qu'il aime, une vieillesse heureuse.
