The timeless novel "The Gadfly" captivates with the romance of Italy's national liberation war, featuring the tragedy of passionate and unhappy love, thrilling intrigues, and the multifaceted image of the main character. A young man, naive, in love, full of freedom-loving ideas and romantic illusions, was deceived, slandered, rejected, and despised. He disappeared, faking his own suicide, and returned thirteen years later under a different name, with a disfigured appearance and a tormented heart. Beneath the mask of a mocking cynic, few could see the passionate, noble nature of a man still faithful to the ideals of his youth.
This powerful novel by Ethel Lilian Voynich was adapted into films three times in our country, and is also known for the rock musical "The Gadfly" and the ballet "Rivares". It is published in the classic translation by Natalia Volzhina.
