Baroness Emmuska ORCZY

Unlike Baroness Orczy's other novels, The Scarlet Pimpernel Looks at the World presents a fascinating twist: the legendary Sir Percy Blakeney steps out of Revolutionary France to cast his witty, satirical gaze on the modern world. Writing in character, Orczy gives her iconic hero the voice of a social commentator, critiquing politics, manners, and the cultural currents of the 20th century. With the Pimpernel's trademark charm, irony, and razor-sharp wit, this book blends history with social satire, offering both fans and new readers a chance to experience the Scarlet Pimpernel as they've never seen him before — not just as a daring rescuer in disguise, but as a keen observer of humanity across the ages.
