An enjoyable story, but this is one of those rare ones where the movie is actually better than the book. The 1934 version is the one I grew up on and is still the best. There was a version done in the 1980’s which was okay, but no match for Leslie Howard’s performance. ( ![]() I'd always heard about this book, came across it while browsing in the library and thought I'd give it a try. It's a typical B-Grade 19th cent/turn of the century novel, with a compelling adventure plot, but cartoon characters I know liked this swashbuckling tale when I read it long ago. 4.5* for this audiobook edition narrated by Stephen Crossley. Despite knowing the plot well from previous reads (and the classic film version), I still found the book caught me up in the thrills. There were many little details that I had forgotten. Sir Percy Blakeney es un frívolo y vanidoso miembro de la aristocracia inglesa. Nadie puede entender cómo logró casarse con Marguerite St. Just, una famosa y cultivada actriz francesa. Pero lo que ni siquiera su esposa sabe es que Percy lleva una vida doble como «la Pimpinela Escarlata», salvador de aristócratas e inocentes durante el Reinado del Terror después de la Revolución francesa, siempre perseguido por el agente republicano francés Chauvelin.

During the French Revolution a secret society of English gentlemen is formed by the enigmatic Scarlet Pimpernel, to rescue their fellow French nobility. Marguerite's brother is threatened by a Frenchman, who demands information on the Scarlet Pimpernel in return for her brother's safety. Marguerite makes the exchange only to discover that her boring fop of a husband is the Pimpernel himself! She follows him to France and so each proves themselves to the other what they really are. .No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
