Le Général Dourakine by comtesse de Sophie Ségur
"Le Général Dourakine" by comtesse de Sophie Ségur is a children's novel published in 1863. General Dourakine returns to Russia with the Dérigny family, where his two nieces arrive—one virtuous, one cruel and hypocritical. When a Polish prince condemned to Siberia appears in disguise, the household faces danger and intrigue. The general must navigate family conflicts, protect the innocent, and confront the brutal realities of Russian serfdom before seeking refuge in France.
This tale explores themes of compassion, justice, and the stark contrast between good and evil. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
