- Résumé : "The Scarlet Pimpernel" by Baroness Orczy is a historical novel set during the French Revolution, focusing on the daring exploits of a mysterious Englishman who rescues French aristocrats from the guillotine. The story begins in Paris, September 1792, where the guillotine is busy with its grim work, and the revolutionary fervor is at its peak. The protagonist, known only as the Scarlet Pimpernel, is a master of disguise and deception, leading a secret league of English gentlemen who risk their lives to save the French nobility. The narrative shifts to "The Fisherman's Rest," an inn in Dover, England, where the innkeeper, Mr. Jellyband, and his daughter Sally, are preparing for the arrival of Lord Antony Dewhurst and Sir Andrew Ffoulkes, members of the league. They are escorting the Comtesse de Tournay and her children, who have just escaped from France. The Comtesse is grateful but worried about her husband, who remains in danger. The league's activities are shrouded in secrecy, and the identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel is known only to his closest associates. The novel explores themes of bravery, loyalty, and the struggle for justice, as the league continues its mission to outwit the revolutionary authorities and save innocent lives. The Scarlet Pimpernel's symbol, a small red flower, becomes a mark of hope and defiance against tyranny.
