Raoul Daubry

The novel “Raoul Daubry” by Z. Fleuriot was published in Paris in 1896 in French. It is one of the most well-known works by the French author, whose literature for young readers emphasized values such as duty, love for family, and civic responsibility. At the heart of the story is the life of Raoul Daubry, a young man who is forced to assume responsibility for his family at an early age. The novel explores themes of honor, loyalty, and personal sacrifice for loved ones, while highlighting the significance of moral choice. The publication is enriched with 32 engravings that add vividness to the narrative and bring the characters to life. This edition stands out as a compelling example of late 19th-century didactic and morally instructive fiction, intended for both young readers and their parents.
