| Summary | "Le Mauvais Génie" by comtesse de Sophie Ségur is a novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around young Julien, an orphan living with the Bonard family, who has recently lost a valuable turkey, leading him to an intriguing series of events filled with misunderstandings, friendships, and a moral journey of personal integrity. At the start of the novel, we meet Julien, who works on the Bonard farm. After losing a turkey while doing his chores, he is blamed by Monsieur Bonard and is tasked with finding it. Despite his efforts and the turmoil it causes him, Julien's character is defined by his kindness and honesty. As the narrative unfolds, we also encounter Frédéric, the Bonard's son, who struggles with his own moral choices and associations, particularly with the shady character Alcide. The opening sets the stage for a tale exploring the themes of responsibility, the innocence of youth, and the trials of growing up amid challenges, depicting the contrasting personalities of Julien and Frédéric while foreshadowing David's moral dilemmas ahead.
