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.In 1903, Orczy and her husband wrote a play based on one of her short stories about an English aristocrat, Sir Percy Blakeney, Bart., who rescued French aristocrats from the French Revolution: The Scarlet Pimpernel. The play was accepted for production in the West End and though initially drew only small audiences, it ran four years, broke many stage records, was translated and produced in other countries, and underwent several revivals. This theatrical success generated huge sales for the novel and Orczy went on to write over a dozen sequels. Orczy's novels were racy, mannered melodramas and she favored historical fiction.

Описание: It's 1783 and wealthy Paul D roul de has offended the young Vicomte de Marny by speaking disrepctfully of his latest infatuation, Ad le de Monterch ri. D roul de had not intended to get into the quarrel but has a tendency to blunder into things - "no doubt a part of the inheritance bequeathed to him by his bourgeois ancestry." Incensed at the slur on Ad le, who he sees as a paragon of virtue, the Vicomte challenges D roul de to a duel, a fight which D roul de does not want - for he knows and respects the boy's father, the Duc de Marny.

Описание: In The Tangled Skein, Baroness Orczy does not paint Queen Mary nearly so black as she is usually portrayed. Indeed Mary is depicted as so passionately loving as to be almost lovable, a woman of strong emotions, invariably swayed by justice. The tangling of the skein is due to Mary's supposititious love for Robert d'Esclade, fifth Duke of Wessex, whom the people of England desire to become King Consort. He is the embodiment of all chivalry, and every virtue dear to the heart of an Englishman. He is, so far, fancy free, but beyond deep respect for, and loyalty to, his Queen, he has no other feeling, and the idea of marriage with her merely for political reasons is repulsive to him. He is at the same time half betrothed, but not bindingly, to Lady Ursula Glynde, whom he has not seen since her babyhood. Wessex is repelled by the idea of having his wife thrust upon him in any way, and purposely avoids the girl, in which he is, unknown to himself, aided and abetted by the Queen, who tries jealously to guard him against falling a victim to Ursula's undoubted fascinations. Add to this trio, the powerful Cardinal Moreno and Phillip II of Spain and the skein only becomes more tangled. (source: Wikipedia)
