Infos

In The Triumph of the Scarlet Pimpernel, Baroness Orczy brings her legendary hero to one of his most dangerous confrontations yet. France remains gripped by Revolutionary terror, and the guillotine claims lives daily. Against this backdrop, Sir Percy Blakeney — the Scarlet Pimpernel — embarks on another perilous rescue mission. But his cunning adversary Chauvelin is more determined than ever to crush him, laying intricate traps that strike at Percy's courage, loyalty, and even his marriage to Marguerite. Love and devotion collide with vengeance and political ruthlessness in a battle of wits that tests the very limits of the Pimpernel's brilliance. Suspenseful, romantic, and richly atmospheric, this novel captures the heart-pounding excitement that made the Scarlet Pimpernel one of the greatest adventure heroes in literature.

Autor

Baroness Emmuska Orczy (1865–1947) was a Hungarian-born British novelist, playwright, and artist, best remembered as the creator of the legendary hero The Scarlet Pimpernel. Born in Tarnaörs, Hungary, she moved to London in her youth and established herself in literary circles with her flair for romantic adventure and historical drama. Orczy's groundbreaking novel The Scarlet Pimpernel (1905) introduced readers to Sir Percy Blakeney, the daring English aristocrat who, in disguise, rescued French nobles from the guillotine during the Revolution—an archetype that inspired countless masked and double-identity heroes in popular culture, from Zorro to Batman. Beyond the Pimpernel series, she penned detective stories such as The Old Man in the Corner, historical romances, and even works on Hungarian life and folklore. Her works combined suspense, wit, and a deep love for heroism, earning her international acclaim. Orczy continued writing until her final years, leaving behind a legacy as one of the pioneers of modern adventure and mystery fiction
