Autorenporträt

Baroness Emmuska Orczy, born Emma Magdalena Rosalia Maria Josefa Barbara Orczy on September 23, 1865, in Tarnaörs, Hungary, was a notable author and playwright. Orczy's family was ennobled for their military services, hence her title 'Baroness' before moving to England due to the political climate. She studied art at Heatherley's School of Fine Art in London and later at the Royal Academy of Arts, where she met her husband, Montague Barstow, with whom she collaboratively illustrated books. Baroness Orczy's literary career bloomed with her famous novel 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' (1905), which was subsequently followed by a series of sequels. Her writing style is characterized by adventure, romance, and a flair for historical settings, often revolving around aristocracy and high society. Another work of the Baroness, 'Unravelled Knots' (1925), continues her legacy of suspense and mystery, echoing her nuanced character development and dramatic storytelling. Her extensive repertoire of literature, which includes over 35 titles, reflects both the romanticism and tensions of the early 20th century, capturing the imaginations of readers worldwide. Baroness Orczy passed away in London on November 12, 1947, leaving behind a considerable collection of writings that remain influential in the adventure and mystery genres.
