La Primula Rossa [The Scarlet Pimpernel]
Summary
La primula rossa è un ciclo di romanzi d’avventura pubblicati in fascicoli. Il primo romanzo, La primula rossa, uscì in volume nel 1905. Le vicende del ciclo sono ambientate nel periodo della rivoluzione francese, durante il regime del Terrore. Nei romanzi, un personaggio enigmatico, detto appunto la Primula Roosa, a capo di una lega di inglesi, aiuta la fuga di molte famiglie aristocratiche che rischiavano la vita. Queste opere sono considerate, tra l'altro, come antesignane del genere della letteratura di spionaggio, e il nome “Primula Rossa”, è diventato da allora una locuzione che indica personaggi misteriosi e inavvicinabili.La cornice musicale è la rapsodia ungherese n. 2 di Franz Liszt. Please note: This audiobook is in Italian.

The Scarlet Pimpernel
Summary
A band of English Noblemen, led by the masked Scarlet Pimpernel, secretly conspire to rescue French noblemen from the guillotine of French Revolutionists. The French army offers 5,000 francs for the Scarlet Pimpernel, who is quite sneaky in his means to free these mostly innocent men. Rumor has it that the Scarlet Pimpernel has super powers which aid him in evading capture along with his team of men. The Scarlet Pimpernel lives a double life, one as an English aristocrat, wealthy, and popular among society's elite, and another at night when he becomes a superhero and master of disguise to the French nobles he has vowed to save. To others, such as the revolutionists, he is something darker, and dangerous - a vigilante who must be captured and stopped at once. A love story deepens the mystery of the Scarlet Pimpernel even more, as a beautiful young wife will have to choose between her husband and her brother with his demands to discover the identity of the vigilante or face dire consequences. The Scarlet Pimpernel goes to great lengths to show that the mask you wear on the outside is not always an accurate depiction of who you really are on the inside.
