At the height of the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, a mysterious daredevil rescues French aristocrats from execution and smuggles them out of France. This secretive escape artist is known to the French authorities only by the drawings of a flower, the scarlet pimpernel, that he leaves as his calling card.
Marguerite St. Just has avoided the worst of the revolutionary turmoil. Her recent marriage to the English baronet Sir Percy Blakeney has taken her away from the chaos in France to England, where she is quickly recognized as the most fashionable and clever lady in London. But even in England, she is unable to escape the effects of the Revolution, and she is soon blackmailed into a plot to unmask and capture the elusive Scarlet Pimpernel.
With The Scarlet Pimpernel, Baroness Orczy introduced the world to a talented, adventurous hero hiding behind a dull and ineffectual secret identity. Countless imitators followed, until the "secret identity" became a common feature of adventure stories.
In addition to the novel, Orczy wrote with her husband a stage play of the same name, which broke stage records and saw several revivals. Both the play and the novel received much critical and popular acclaim, and Orczy went on to write several sequels about the mysterious Pimpernel and his companions.
Perfect for readers who love swashbuckling adventure combined with romantic intrigue, this timeless classic delivers heart-pounding rescues, mysterious heroes, and the dangerous glamour of revolutionary France. With its perfect blend of historical drama, clever disguises, and passionate romance, The Scarlet Pimpernel remains one of literature's most thrilling tales of heroism against impossible odds.
