Omschrijving

The Scarlet Pimpernel Series 'Äì All 35 Titles in One Edition is a masterful compilation that brings together the adventures of the enigmatic hero Sir Percy Blakeney, set against the tumultuous backdrop of the French Revolution. Emma Orczy's literary style is characterized by thrilling narratives, rich characterizations, and sharp wit, reflecting both the romanticism and social tensions of her time. The series explores themes of bravery, deception, and sacrifice, incorporating elements of mystery and adventure that keep readers engaged, while immersing them in the perilous world of revolutionary France and the nobility's plight. Emma Orczy, a Hungarian-born author, found her passion for storytelling through her own rich cultural heritage and the tales of her ancestors. Her fascination with the duality of human nature and the concept of the masked hero, along with her experiences as an expatriate in England, shaped her desire to create a story that would resonate with audiences across Europe. The initial short play, 'The Scarlet Pimpernel,' that launched this extensive series, was inspired by her firsthand accounts of both social injustice and gallant heroism. Readers with a penchant for historical fiction, adventure, and romance will find The Scarlet Pimpernel Series to be a riveting exploration of good versus evil, loyalty, and the instinct to fight against tyranny. This comprehensive edition offers a unique opportunity to witness Orczy's skillful storytelling evolve over time, ensuring both new and seasoned readers are captivated by the enduring appeal of this classic hero.
