French description: De retour le 4 septembre 1838 du Second voyage en zigzag qu'il a effectue avec ses eleves, Rodolphe Topffer va demeurer seul a la tete de son pensionnat car sa femme, sa chere Kity, se remet a Mornex de la mort de son pere. Quotidiennement, Rodolphe la tiendra au courant de ce qui se passe chez lui et en ville: Geneve est alors, comme le reste de la Suisse, tres preoccupee parce que la France reclame, avec menaces de guerre a lappui, la presence sur son sol du prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, etabli dans le canton de Thurgovie dont il a pris la nationalite. Cette affaire sera reglee par le depart volontaire du futur Napoleon III.
Les lettres de Rodolphe Topffer sont alors consacrees a des evenements plus personnels dont certains furent dimportance: les fameuses cinq Lettres vertes, attribuees par lui a la plume dAlbert Rilliet-de Candolle quil naimait pas, sont dirigees contre lAcademie dont Topffer devient lardent defenseur. Par ailleurs il se plaint des contrefacons parisiennes des histoires de MM. Jabot, Crepin et Vieux-Bois, il fait paraitre divers articles dans la Bibliotheque universelle de Geneve, redige ses recits de voyages, edite les histoires de MM. Pencil et Festus, et publie son recueil des Nouvelles et melanges. En plus de cette intense activite, Rodolphe Topffer correspond avec Xavier de Maistre qui le mettra en rapport avec le grand critique francais Sainte-Beuve, ce qui aura pour futur resultat ledition a Paris des Nouvelles genevoises. Rodolphe Topffer, meme sil est parfois dhumeur noire, na rien perdu de son humour ce quattestent ses lettres parfois caustiques adressees a ses amis David Munier et Auguste De la Rive."
