| Summary | "El Dorado: An Adventure of the Scarlet Pimpernel" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is a historical novel written during the early 20th century. This book follows the enigmatic hero known as the Scarlet Pimpernel, alongside Armand St. Just, as they navigate the treacherous political landscape of revolutionary France, seeking to rescue innocents from the guillotine and restore a sense of humanity amidst chaos. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the chaotic and deadly atmosphere in Paris amidst the French Revolution. Armand St. Just, a fervent royalist, has returned to Paris to aid in rescue missions led by the Scarlet Pimpernel but is deeply troubled by the current state of affairs. The reader witnesses the audacity of the revolutionaries and the horrific excesses committed in the name of liberty. Armand encounters Baron de Batz, who has dubious intentions of restoring the monarchy but is completely self-serving. This initial setup hints at a larger conflict involving personal ideals, the struggle between political factions, and the looming presence of the notorious Scarlet Pimpernel, who is implied to be a crucial player in the fight for innocent lives during this tumultuous period.
