Infos

In The Way of the Scarlet Pimpernel, Baroness Orczy delivers a tale of suspense and sacrifice that shows Sir Percy Blakeney at his most daring. France still writhes under the grip of Revolutionary terror, where the guillotine spares neither man nor woman. This time, the Pimpernel must rescue a group of innocents trapped in Paris, while the Revolutionaries close in with brutal efficiency. As secret passages, coded messages, and midnight escapes weave a tense pattern, Percy's courage is tested as never before — forcing him to risk not only his life but also his reputation and the trust of those he loves. Blending intrigue, romance, and high-stakes adventure, this novel is a stirring reminder of the unyielding heroism that made the Scarlet Pimpernel a timeless legend.

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
