Autorenporträt

Baroness Emma ("Emmuska") Orczy, born Emma Magdalena Rosalia Maria Josefa Barbara Orczy on September 23, 1865, in Tarnaörs, Hungary, was a distinguished author and playwright of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Coming from an aristocratic family that later faced financial difficulties, Orczy moved to London where she attended the West London School of Art and later the Heatherley School of Fine Art. Although she initially focused on visual arts, Orczy is best known for her literary contributions, particularly her novels and short stories set during tumultuous historical periods. It is in 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' series, where she achieved considerable acclaim with its first book introducing the elusive hero, Sir Percy Blakeney. This success laid the foundation for a prolific writing career that spanned across various genres including detective fiction, adventure, and romance. One of her notable titles, 'The Noble Rogue' (1917), showcases Orczy's characteristic combination of aristocratic glamor, romance, and intrigue. Her writing, often characterized by a vivid sense of history and adventure, appealed to a broad readership, and she enjoys a secure place in the annals of English literature. Her works not only entertained but also provided commentary on the social issues and aristocratic biases of her time. Baroness Orczy passed away on November 12, 1947, in Henley-on-Thames, England, leaving behind a literary legacy that continues to be appreciated by historical fiction enthusiasts worldwide.
