Nicolette: A tale of old provence begins with the crumbling grandeur of a ch teau, a silent relic of a noble past diminished by time and hardship. Against this fading backdrop, a tender bond forms between a young girl and a boy tied by birth to the house's lingering legacy. Their friendship unfolds in sun-drenched meadows and moss-covered ruins, infused with imagination, memory, and the quiet dignity of tradition. The opening chapters capture the contrast between youthful vitality and ancestral decline, illuminating the emotional undercurrents of loss and loyalty. The once-glorious family now occupies a space of near-obscurity, their nobility overshadowed by changing fortunes. Yet in the laughter and dreams of the children, a trace of the past's beauty endures. As the narrative reflects on the rigid distinctions of class, it also evokes a more intimate portrayal of shared humanity, where heritage both binds and separates. Through gentle prose and richly evoked landscapes, the novel meditates on memory, inheritance, and the quiet persistence of hope within a world of shifting boundaries.
Autorenporträt
Baroness Emmuska Orczy, born in 1865 in Hungary, was a British novelist, playwright, and artist best known for her historical adventure novel The Scarlet Pimpernel (1905). Orczy was the daughter of a Hungarian aristocrat and spent much of her early life in Budapest, Brussels, and Paris before settling in London. Her cosmopolitan upbringing influenced her writing, as she infused her works with elements of European history, particularly the French Revolution. Orczy's most famous creation, The Scarlet Pimpernel, is a tale of daring rescues and espionage set during the French Revolution. The story established the archetype of the masked avenger and became a beloved classic, inspiring numerous adaptations for stage, film, and television. Beyond The Scarlet Pimpernel, Orczy wrote over a dozen sequels featuring the character, as well as numerous other novels and short stories. Her writing often featured themes of loyalty, courage, and romance, with a focus on noble characters caught in dramatic historical circumstances. Orczy's contributions to literature, particularly in the genre of historical adventure fiction, have earned her a lasting legacy. She passed away in 1947, leaving behind a rich body of work still celebrated today.
