About the author:




Sidney Sheldon was rarely accused of writing great literature, but many of his works were wildly popular. He first became a published author at the age of ten, when his father, unbeknownst to Sheldon, submitted one of the boy's poems to Wee Wisdom magazine. He received five dollars in payment. In his youth he submitted several stories to Collier's and The Saturday Evening Post, but received only rejection slips. In his late teens, with a bottle of whisky and dozens of sleeping pills, Sheldon said he was just minutes from suicide when his father walked in, and talked him out of killing himself.

Scarlet Pimpernal

Scarlet Pimpernal by Baroness Orczy

Orczy's bestselling novel had as its background the French Revolution. Sir Percy Blakeney is a mysterious hero, who saves the lives the French aristocrats and helps them to escape the guillotine. He falls in love with a beautiful actress, Marguerite St Just. To conceal from Marguerite and others his secret identity as the master of disguise, Sir Percy assumes the role of a clumsy English aristocrat. As a spy Percy can be seen as a forefather of James Bond and other espionage agents. The persecutor of the Scarlet Pimpernel is Citizen Chauvelin, an agent of Robespierre. Orczy's sympathies were shown clearly: she was suspicious of the "lower orders" and Pimpernel rescued the French nobility - sometimes others - only because he admired the nobility of all countries. Once Percy disguises himself as a Jew, thinking that the French despise Jews and do not ask questions. He also formed a band of helpers, Sir Andrew Ffoulkes, Lord Anthony Dewhurst, Lord Hastings, etc..Fantastic classic story i've ever read.
