【 摘 要 】

This analysis of Dupray de la Mahérie's case aims at a beginning thought about the social impact of the corruption and the falsehood. It questions not only the criminal's room to manoeuvre but also the judiciary and literary representations as seen during the successive trials he suffered. The clever hero is trapped both in an incredible speculative spiral and in a strong relationship web wich seems to tear him. Outlawed from society by the judges and the journalists, this character gain eventually recognition but in a paradoxical way.
