Description

The Scarlet Pimpernel is the original tale of the masked hero, first published in 1905. Set during the French Revolution, it follows the mysterious English nobleman who, under a secret identity, daringly rescues condemned aristocrats from execution. Combining romance, adventure, and mystery, Orczy’s novel introduced the "hero with a secret identity" archetype, influencing countless later works. With its fast-paced plot, vivid settings, and themes of sacrifice and loyalty, it remains a beloved classic of historical fiction.
