Le général Dourakine is a novel written by Countess de Ségur, set in Russia. The story follows the terrible General Dourakine, who compensates for his bad temper with real kindness and a great sense of justice. After returning to Grimiline, in Russia, in the company of the Derigny family, he is forced to take in his niece Papofski and her eight children. The general will do everything possible to get rid of this intruder, especially if he fears that she will denounce a Polish prince clandestinely hiding in his castle. Finally, following the advice of his faithful steward Derigny, the general uses a subterfuge that deceives the odious Papofski and allows him to live in France, near his loved ones, enjoying a happy old age.
Sophie Rostopchine, Countess of Ségur, born Sofiya Feodorovna Rostopchina, was a French writer of Russian birth and origin. She is best known today for her novel Les Malheurs de Sophie, intended for children.
