Summary "Tulipunainen neilikka : Pakolaisromaani" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution, focusing on themes of escapism and the struggle for survival among the aristocracy in France. The story likely involves a central figure, the elusive hero referred to as the "Scarlet Pimpernel," who aids nobles in their escape from the revolutionary mob. The opening of the novel establishes a grim atmosphere in Paris during September 1792, capturing the chaotic and violent sentiments of the populace. A vivid depiction of a crowd, excited by the horrors of the guillotine, highlights the brutality of the revolution. Among the chaos, the character of Sergeant Bibot emerges as a key figure, skillfully hunting down fleeing nobles while enjoying the thrill of the chase. The narrative hints at the presence of the mysterious Englishman known as the "Scarlet Pimpernel," who is coordinating the escape of aristocrats, stirring both fear and intrigue amidst the revolutionary fervor. As the story progresses, it promises a blend of suspense and heroism set against a historically rich backdrop. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
