Описание: The Scarlet Pimpernel is the first novel in a series of historical fiction by Baroness Orczy, published in 1905. It was written after her stage play of the same title enjoyed a long run in London, having opened in Nottingham in 1903.The novel is set during the Reign of Terror following the start of the French Revolution. The title is the nom de guerre of its hero and protagonist, a chivalrous Englishman who rescues aristocrats before they are sent to the guillotine. Sir Percy Blakeney leads a double life: apparently nothing more than a wealthy fop, but in reality a formidable swordsman and a quick-thinking escape artist. The band of gentlemen who assist him are the only ones who know of his secret identity. He is known by his symbol, a simple flower, the scarlet pimpernel (Anagallis arvensis). Marguerite Blakeney, his French wife, does not share his secret. She is approached by the new French envoy to England, Chauvelin, with a threat to her brother's life if she does not aid in the search for the Pimpernel. She aids him, and then discovers that the Pimpernel is also very dear to her. She sails to France to stop the envoy.

Описание: Historical adventure novel set during the French Revolution On the rare occasions when Lady Chartley was "at home," the whole of the lite of Cannes society and of the neighbourhood got into its motors and drove over to the beautiful Ch teau de Pertuis. These were memorable afternoons. There had only been three in the last two years; but whatever other engagement one had, it had to be put aside for the sake of this one important social event. It would have been terrible indeed to be asked, "Are you going to the Ch teau this afternoon?" and obliged to answer, "No, I have promised to go over to Nice to see So-and-so, an old friend," etc. Nobody would have believed in the old friend: the conclusion would inevitably be, "Poor things they haven't been asked." And there would be a kind of commiserating little lifting of the eyebrows and a gentle query, "You don't know the Chartleys, perhaps." And one either knew the Chartleys or one did not. And that was all there was to it.
