About this eBook

Author Ségur, Sophie, comtesse de, 1799-1874
Title Le Général Dourakine
Credits Produced by Renald Levesque
Summary "Le Général Dourakine" by Comtesse de Sophie Ségur is a novel likely written during the mid-19th century. The story centers around General Dourakine, who embarks on a journey back to Russia with his companions, including the Dérigny family. As the group travels, the dynamics of their relationships, the general's temper, and the children's mischief come into play, setting the stage for the unfolding drama. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to General Dourakine, who is in a seemingly cheerful mood despite the challenges of travel and his gruff demeanor. As he journeys to his estate, Gromiline, he is accompanied by the Dérigny family, which includes the spirited children Jacques and Paul. The narrative quickly establishes the general's character: though he struggles with impatience and flashes of anger, he also demonstrates a capacity for affection, especially towards the children. The opening segment highlights both the charm and the tension inherent in their interactions, suggesting that the arrival at Gromiline will bring further complications, especially with the unexpected visit of General Dourakine's relations, who enter the story bringing their own set of dynamics and potential conflicts.
