Про автора
Baroness Emma Orczy, born Emma Magdalena Rosalia Maria Josefa Barbara Orczy on September 23, 1865, was a distinguished Hungarian-born British novelist, playwright, and artist of noble descent. Most notable for her series of novels featuring the Scarlet Pimpernel, a gallant English hero during the French Revolution, her works are characterised by vivid storytelling and a flair for romantic adventure, which captivated audiences in the early 20th century. Orczy’s ‘I Will Repay’ (1906), a sequel to ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’, continued to enchant readers with its mix of history, suspense, and emotion, a formula that proved highly successful for Orczy. Born in Tarnaörs, Hungary, she was the daughter of a baron, which perhaps influenced her fascination with aristocracy and themes of nobility. Her family moved to London in 1880, where she later attended the West London School of Art and pursued a career in painting before her literary success. Orczy’s writing style often intertwines her sharp observations of society with a riveting plot, exemplifying the early 20th-century literary movement towards serialized storytelling. She authored over 40 novels, numerous short stories, and plays, leaving a legacy as a pioneer of the adventure genre. Orczy passed away on November 12, 1947, but her works remain a testament to her storytelling prowess and continue to be celebrated for their historical accuracy and their ability to transport readers to a bygone era.
