    About this ebook

    Enriched Classics offer readers accessible editions of great works of literature enhanced by helpful notes and commentary. Each book includes educational tools alongside the text, enabling students and readers alike to gain a deeper and more developed understanding of the writer and their work.

    This timeless novel of intrigue and romance is the adventure of one man's defiance in the face of authority. The rulers of the French Revolution are unable to discern the identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel, a man whose exploits are an embarrassment to the new regime. Is he an exiled French nobleman or an English lord? The only thing for certain is his calling card—the blood-red flower known as the Scarlet Pimpernel. The novel tells of the mysterious and much spoken-of League of the Scarlet Pimpernel. This group is led by the cunning and noble Sir Percy Blakeney who, with accomplices, risks life and limb rescuing the innocents caught up in the Reign of Terror in Paris. His disguises and other inventive ways of eluding capture stretch to his anonymity even amongst the English. The Scarlet Pimpernel is by far the best known not only of Orczy's works, but also of stories set during the French Revolution.

    Emmuska Orczy

    Baroness Orczy (1865–1947) was initially born in Hungary but raised throughout Europe. She was educated in Brussels, London, Paris and Budapest where she studied creative arts. In 1899, Orczy would publish her first novel entitled, The Emperor's Candlesticks. It wasn’t a massive success but led to more writing opportunities including a series of detective stories. A few years later, she wrote and produced a stage play called The Scarlet Pimpernel, which she’d later adapt into a novel. It went on to become her most famous work and is considered a literary masterpiece of the twentieth century.

      Justly famous for it's theatrical style, outrageous intrigue and less-than-2-percent-body-fat plot. I enjoyed it despite the florid writing and simplistic, one-sided view of historic events. Still, I must say, if the French secret police were really this dense, I too could have duped them as often and with equal panache.
    • 5/5
      Despite knowing the plot well from previous reads (and the classic film version), I still found the book caught me up in the thrills. There were many little details that I had forgotten.
    • 5/5
      WOW!! This book was amazing! A classic and a must read! I am not going to write a real review because it would be all spoilers anyway, so just know that you should read this! Some parts were hard from me to get through (lotttts of description!) but I am glad I kept at it, and in the end, this is now one of my favorite classics!
    • 4/5
      Excellent book, if you like the films you will like this book
    • 4/5
      This classic story of an English aristocrat rescuing doomed French aristocrats from the guillotine in the Reign of Terror through ingenious disguises and escapes has been mimicked so many times (including in the third series of Blackadder) that it seems very familiar, though I had not read it before. It is, in fact, enormously good fun, though the characters on all sides are extremely stereotyped and the view of the French Revolution portrayed here as simplistic as one would expect from this traditionally conservative-minded Austro-Hungarian aristocrat. The only somewhat more nuanced characters are Marguerite St Just and her brother Armand, liberal republicans who supported the Revolution in the early days but have become disillusioned with terror and bloodshed. Enjoyed as pure romantic escapism the novel works, and the Baroness can undoubtedly come up with a good turn of phrase. Aside from the simplistic presentation, the chronology isn't quite right - this is set in September 1792 at the time of the appalling prison massacres, but well before the period known as the Reign of Terror when Robespierre was the leading figure, which really began only from summer 1793. 3.5/5
    • 4/5
      I am a fan of the masked hero type. Zorro and Batman and the like. So you might want to take what I say with a grain of salt because I think I was predisposed to like this novel. And I did like it. There are less of the heroic adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel here than you may expect. You hear about his breathless, selfless rescues more than you actually get to see them. A lot of the book is told from the point of view of Lady Blakeney so the reader stays in England with her instead of getting to go to France with the Scarlet Pimpernel. But you still get to hear how he fools the French and does all sorts of heroic things. I think the events hold more surprises for the characters than they do for the reader but I don't think that hurts the story. Sometimes the 'I just want to be able to die beside my beloved' emotion of Lady Blakeney gets to be a bit much. And I have to admit that I was getting tired of being told that she was ever so clever, even though at times she didn't act like it. Over all I really liked it. It is fun and exciting with some suspense and romance.
    • 4/5
      The Scarlet Pimpernel is a very fast-paced adventure story, quick to read and with a finale as exciting as any Bruckheimer movie.
    • 4/5
      This is such a cheesy, sentimental book, and yet I'm always drawn in to the Pimpernel's adventures.
    • 4/5
      When I first saw this on my list as a book to read in honor of love and Valentine's Day I almost thought there was a mistake. The beginning of the book is mayhem. Taking place during the French Revolution and the Year of Terror people are being sent to the "Madame Guillotine" left and right. To make matters worse, the heroine of the story, Lady Marguerite Blakeney is disgusted by her dull, slow-witted, lazy husband. Death and indifference. What kind of love story is that?My advice? Keep reading. This is a classic love story wrapped up in an adventure mystery full of intrigue. Lady Marguerite harbors a horrible skeleton in her closet. Out of revenge for her brother (because blood is thicker than water) she sent an entire family to the guillotine. The punishment didn't fit the crime and Marguerite is ashamed of her prior actions. However, this event taints her marriage to Sir Percy Blakeney and as time goes on their relationship grows colder and colder, falling further and further out of love. Complicating matters is a crafty hero calling himself the Scarlet Pimpernel. He and his "League" are going around and rescuing citizens from the guillotine. His arch enemy, Chauvelin, is determined to uncover his real identity and he enlists Marguerite's help using her brother as bait. What Marguerite doesn't know is that her dull, slow-witted, lazy husband is none other than the Scarlet Pimpernel himself.

      I read this as part of a monthly challenge in one of the groups I participate in. The parameters for the challenge being Classics, "read either a Shakespearean play or a classic love story." Amidst high school AP Lit flashbacks of the butcherings of Othello by the average drawling teen, I set out on the latter.

      'Odd's Fish!' I ended up really liking this quick read more than I thought I might. It's adventurous, fun, and it all ties up nicely in the end according to the majority of the wants and whims of the time's reading set.
    • 5/5
      Wonderful book. I wished it covered more of the Reign of Terror but it was a light-hearted read.
    • 4/5
      Sir Percy and Lady Blakeney are highly lauded in British society. He is the most foppish dandy about Town and she admired for her rapier sharp wit. Though in public he plays the fop, Sir Percy is actually a master of disguise who rescues French nobles from the forces of the French Revolution. When his identity is compromised, Lady Blakeney must find a way to warn him without compromising his mission. As one of the first novels written about a masked hero, I have to say I really enjoyed this book. Yes it is a classic (it was originally published in 1905) but it is entertaining and very readable. I would suggest it to readers who enjoy political intrigue and adventure.
    • 5/5
      What a swashbuckling, great read. The story, set during the French Revolution, is full of daring, quick wittedness, and passion. Just plain fun!
    • 5/5
      This is an awesome book! It has a wonderful style mixed with mystery. Also, can be compared with the movie.
    • 5/5
      Though not very serious or dramatic, the silliness of this novel and its characters makes for a very entertaining read from cover to cover. Easy to read for people of all ages, this book is highly recommended.
    • 4/5
      A fun book. I read because I was in the play and I was doing some background work, but ended up thoroughly enjoying the book anyway. A melodrama with sword fights, disguises and a female as the leading character. Though I do believe that Chauvelin is the only pure character in the book, he has a cause and is letting that guide him.
    • 5/5
      No fair! I thought this was an adventure tale, but I think half of the story goes on in the heroine's head! It's almost a chick flick, er, book. (Maybe it is... I haven't intentionally read any "chick books" to compare with.) But it's still an enjoyable read. There are two main threads: one is the mystery of the Scarlet Pimpernel. The year is 1792 and the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution is running rampant. However, some clever Englishmen, known as the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, are systematically rescuing French aristocrats from the guillotine. The leader and mastermind behind the league is a man of mystery, one that French agent Chauvelin is determined to unmask and arrest. The second plot thread is the marital troubles of the heroine, Marguirite Lady Blakeney. Her husband, Sir Percy, has been quite unloving to her since he heard that she was instrumental in the arrest and execution of the Marquis de St. Cyr and his family. She has a good explanation, but fears that her husband will never care to hear it. How do these two plots come together? Well, read the book and find out. It wasn't much of a mystery to me, but then I had known the answer before I read it. Besides, I am quite familiar with the concept of "secret identities" from all my comic book reading. Anyway, the book is still worth putting on my shelf.--J.
    • 3/5
      The Scarlet Pimpernel has attained the status of a classic by some unknown mechanism, since it isn't really very good. A short novel at just over 200 pages, it is often regarded as "juvenile fiction", which it is, since it's, well, juvenile. It deals in elitism, sexism, and a bunch of other unpopular isms, along with being clunky, overwritten, and by now clichéd. Deeds are, yes, dastardly. Our hero is handsome, our heroine is beautiful, and a snob: "The same feeling of good-humoured contempt which one feels for an animal or a faithful servant, made her turn away with a smile from the man who should have been her moral support in this heart-rending crisis through which she was passing: who should have been her cool-headed adviser, when feminine sympathy and sentiment tossed her hither and thither, between her love for her brother, who was far away and in mortal peril, and horror of the awful service which Chauvelin had exacted from her, in exchange for Armand's safety." They don't write sentences like that anymore, and it's a good thing.Marguerite (that's her name) is also somewhat dim-witted, since we are repeated told that she is the smartest woman in Europe, but she can't figure out that her husband consistently disappears just before a French aristocrat is snatched from the jaws of the guillotine and smuggled over to England. This does not bode well for the future of European civilization if she's the best of the bunch, cognitively speaking.However, the book has some virtues: it's fast-paced and exciting, yet very little violence takes place. Unlike most adventure stories, it's told from a woman's point of view. And it's fun in the same way as an old B movie. Even so, I'd rather read something by Dumas.
    • 4/5
      A proper swashbuckler that kept me up well past my bedtime. Very light but very fun. I'd seen several film versions but they changed enough of the story that I still had no idea how the book's ending would unfold.The characters -- especially the supporting cast -- are just archetypes, but that's fine for the genre. Although since it's a series, hopefully they developed personalities over time.I could have done without all the vague tangents about "a woman's heart," of course. And there was one major distracting irritation with the climax -- If you're going to tell us over and over that your main character is the most clever person in Europe, don't make her oblivious to something that is obvious to the reader.
    • 4/5
      Very enjoyable tale of heroes, spies, villains, and intrigue. This seems a bit unoriginal in light of all the romance novels I have read, until I remember that it came before all those - it was likely a model for more recent historical romances. It's a satisfying tale of good over evil and true love conquering all.
    • 4/5
      I struggled whether to give this book, 3 1/2 or 4 stars, and in the end settled with 4. For being a romance novel, the Scarlet Pimpernel was a pretty good read. The character development was strong and the plot moved at a fairly quick pace. The only thing that would keep me from giving this book a perfect score is its predictability. Intensity had a hard time building up because of how obvious a coming plot turn was going to be.
    • 4/5
      At first I tried to read the old-fashioned version, but I couldn't get through the language. The modern version was wonderful, though.It's a fun story with enough depth too.It does make you think about the French revolution, which I find an interesting period. The characters are very well thought out and described. I just love this book.
    • 4/5
      This book was one of my most impulsive reads. This one wasn't in my TBR, in any of the lists I sometime follow (that I know of), was not part of any Book Club reads, real life ones or otherwise, nor was it a recommendation. Long story short, I got around to reading it and well, it was quite interesting for a grim subject - the French Revolution.This was my second book (after A Tale of Two Cities, but while The Tale of Two Cities went right into the heart of the matter, this one flirted and skirted around the issue, which is probably also the reason for it be the more cheerful of the two.There is mystique (even if quite predictable), drama, and a sense of anticipation in the entire book. The length was just right, any longer and it would have been a drag. So was the general tone, tenor and characters - the good guys were really good, the bad really evil and the good guys with bad deeds, repentant, which made for some easy, uncomplicated reading.While I am not really tempted as of now to read the sequels, for a standalone book, it worked out quite well.
    • 5/5
      I read this book when I was younger and just fell in love with it. The romanticism charmed me at the time, and I memorised the "They seek him here, they seek him there..." chant. A great book for anyone, especially me when I was growing up!
    • 4/5
      I listened to the audio book, narrated by Mary Sarah. Audio books can be tricky, because loving it often depends on how good the narrator is. I thought that Mary Sarah was a great narrator and she added to the experience of the book.

      The Scarlet Pimpernel started off a little slowly to give readers an idea of setting and main characters. After these are established it's a page turner. I almost stopped the audio so that I could read the story myself, it pulled me in.

      As always, leaves me wanting more of the story, more of Marguerite and Percy and just more of this unassuming hero, using the prejudices of his society to save the innocent.
    • 5/5
      This is my favorite book EVER. I especially like Margurite's point of view which was sadly not replicated in Orczy's other books
    • 3/5
      I had a vague idea that this book was a minor classic, an ignorant assumption based on a notion that any book written over 100 years ago and still in circulation is probably pretty good. I was wrong. The Scarlet Pimpernel is your typical cheesy romance. It's the same bad writing you can find in any bodice ripper only without the sex. At least it's short.
    • 4/5
      I'm a huge fan of several movie versions of The Scarlet Pimpernel, but I had never read the book until now. How would it compare to the movies I love so much? Very well indeed. It's neither better nor worse than the movies – just a few plot differences. It's just the sort of book I look for when I want to escape to a different time and place – historical fiction with equal parts adventure and romance. Maybe the best thing about it is that there are sequels, so I have more reading escapes to look forward to!
    • 1/5
      Dreadful, dreadful book. And this is the type of book I like. Started skimming after 120 pages, and as far as I can tell, it remains awful throughout. I still like the poem, however...(12.28.07)
    • 4/5
      Wonderful adventure story set during the Terror - when France sent its royalty, the rich and upper class to the guillotine. Romance too.
