Autorenporträt
Baroness Orczy was born on September 23, 1865, in Heves, Hungary, to an aristocratic family. Her father, Baron Félix Orczy, was a composer and conductor, while her mother, Emma Wass, was a countess. In 1868, following a peasant uprising in Hungary, her family moved to Budapest and later to Brussels and Paris, where Orczy was educated. In her early teens, her family settled in London, England. It was here that she continued her studies in art and later met her future husband, Montagu Barstow, with whom she would collaborate on art and literary projects.Orczy initially pursued a career in painting, exhibiting her work in prestigious galleries like the Royal Academy. However, she found her true calling in writing and began to publish stories and novels. Her breakthrough came with the stage play The Scarlet Pimpernel, co-written with her husband, which premiered in 1903 and became a theatrical success in London. Following the play's popularity, Orczy adapted the story into a novel in 1905, solidifying her reputation as a novelist. This tale of a daring English nobleman rescuing French aristocrats during the Revolution was an instant hit.Throughout her career, Baroness Orczy wrote numerous novels, short stories, and plays, often focusing on themes of adventure, romance, and historical intrigue. Orczy remained active in the literary world well into her later years. She passed away on November 12, 1947, leaving behind a legacy as a pioneer of the swashbuckling hero narrative that influenced the creation of future masked heroes in literature and popular culture.
