Escrita en 1905 por la baronesa Emma Orczy, esta novela de intriga y romance es considerada uno de los grandes clásicos del género de capa y espada, y su protagonista, el precursor de los héroes enmascarados que ya forman parte de la cultura popular contemporánea. La historia transcurre a finales del siglo XVIII, durante el reinado del Terror, cuando el despiadado gobierno jacobino impuesto tras la Revolución francesa es incapaz de discernir la identidad oculta de un caballero cuyas heroicidades son la ignominia del nuevo régimen. De este justiciero solo se sabe que es inglés y que se hace llamar la Pimpinela Escarlata. Líder de una cuadrilla de diecinueve hombres valerosos, arriesgará todo cuanto posee para salvar de la guillotina a miembros de la aristocracia francesa, en este clásico de aventuras donde abundan el heroísmo, el suspense, el amor, los ideales y la venganza. The year is 1792. The French Revolution, driven to excess by its own triumph, has turned into a reign of terror. Daily, tumbrels bearing new victims to the guillotine roll over the cobbled streets of Paris.… Thus the stage is set for one of the most enthralling novels of historical adventure ever written. The mysterious figure known as the Scarlet Pimpernel, sworn to rescue helpless men, women, and children from their doom; his implacable foe, the French agent Chauvelin, relentlessly hunting him down; and lovely Marguerite Blakeney, a beautiful French exile married to an English lord and caught in a terrible conflict of loyalties—all play their parts in a suspenseful tale that ranges from the squalid slums of Paris to the aristocratic salons of London, from intrigue on a great English country estate to the final denouement on the cliffs of the French coast.
