Prologue

voltando para onde você parou…

El Dorado
You get the Scarlet Pimpernel in Revolutionary Paris, working through danger with that wonderfully ridiculous public mask of Sir Percy Blakeney and much sharper courage underneath. It’s melodramatic and politically shadowed rather than subtle, but the disguises, narrow escapes, and doomed atmosphere make it satisfying if you like your adventure theatrical.
Lord Tony’s Wife
If you liked the Scarlet Pimpernel, this one takes you to Nantes during the Terror, where Carrier's drownings make the stakes genuinely grim, and Percy stays offstage longer than you'd want. The revenge plot against Yvonne is pure melodrama, but it's melodrama done with real conviction.
Pimpernel and Rosemary
If you loved Sir Percy, know this is his descendant Peter in post-war Transylvania, and the swashbuckling stays offstage for long stretches. What carries it is Rosemary's awful bargain, write propaganda or two young people die, which Orczy squeezes for every drop of melodrama.
