Infos

The Trappist's Vow is a haunting short story where Baroness Orczy blends faith, silence, and sacrifice with her signature sense of drama. Set against the turbulent backdrop of the French Revolution, it follows a Trappist monk bound by a solemn vow of silence who becomes a witness to betrayal, cruelty, and hidden truths. Powerless to speak yet compelled to act, the monk's vow becomes both a spiritual trial and a source of suspense as life and death hang in the balance. This atmospheric tale captures Orczy's ability to craft stories that are as morally charged as they are gripping, reminding readers that sometimes the greatest courage is found in restraint.

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
