The Gadfly (selected Translations of Famous Works)
About This Novel
"The Gadfly" is the representative work of the British female writer Voynich. After being introduced to China in the 1950s, it became very popular and became one of the favorites of young people at that time. Arthur, an Italian young man, was born into a wealthy businessman family, but he resolutely joined the revolution as an adult. Due to negligence, he leaked the secret, which led to the arrest of his comrades in arms, misunderstood his childhood sweetheart girlfriend Gemma, and painfully discovered that he was the illegitimate son of Father Montanelli, whom he had admired for a long time. Under the harsh reality education, he used fake suicide as a cover and ran away angrily. After 13 years of wandering abroad, he became a determined revolutionary under the pseudonym "Gadfly". He returned to his country to organize armed forces, smuggled arms and actively prepared for the uprising. In the end, he was unfortunately arrested. Faced with threats from the military and his biological father's persuasion to surrender, he remained unmoved and died calmly. "Gadfly" also tells the story of the snow-like pure and innocent love between Gadfly and the girl Qinma, as well as the intertwined love and hate for his father. It is very sad to read.
