The last and best hope for aristocrats under threat of death in revolutionary Paris, The Scarlet Pimpernel risks life and limb to help the upper-class escape to the safety of England. Part romance, part thriller, The Scarlet Pimpernel is the first in a series of novels about Percy Blakeney, an unassuming Englishman who lives a double life in France at the height of the Reign of Terror. Adapted from her play, Baroness Emma Orczy’s The Scarlet Pimpernel is considered one of the greatest adventure novels of all time, and is one of the first examples of the masked avenger genre, which paved the way for such modern-day heroes as Zorro and Spider-Man. In addition to its beginnings as a play, The Scarlet Pimpernel has been adapted for television and film.

At the beginning of the French Revolution, a group of Englishmen form a secret society to rescue French aristocrats from the guillotine. Their mysterious leader is the elusive Scarlet Pimpernel. London society relishes stories of his heroic deeds and hotly debates the question of his identity. Meanwhile, the new French envoy to England, Citizen Chauvelin, will stop at nothing to catch him. Then Marguerite St. Just, the beautiful French wife of English aristocrat Sir Percy Blakeney, makes a startling discovery about the Scarlet Pimpernel's true identity. Marguerite must decide where her loyalties lie-with her beloved brother in France, or with the dashing Pimpernel. Can she save them both? This is an unabridged version of the historical swashbuckling adventure by Hungarian-born British author Baroness Emmuska Orczy, and was first published in 1905.; EPUB; Fiction > Modern & contemporary fiction, Lerner Publishing Group<
