Ethel Lilian Voynich, née Boole (May 11, 1864–July 27, 1960) was a novelist and musician, and a supporter of several revolutionary causes. Her father was the famous mathematician George Boole. Her mother was feminist philosopher Mary Everest, niece of George Everest and an author for the early-20th-century periodical Crank. In 1893 she married Wilfrid Michael Voynich, revolutionary, antiquarian and bibliophile, the eponym of the Voynich manuscript.
The Gadfly begins with the sheltered youth of Arthur Burton. He is devoted to his mother, an Italian widow who dies when he is sixteen; his guardian and mentor, the priest Montanelli, who is also secretly his biological father; and his sweetheart, Gemma, his partner in amateur political activities. Gemma, like the young Ethel Boole, is a passionate British idealist who always dresses in black. The idyll ends when Arthur is tricked into betraying his political secrets to a priest who is also a spy; at the same time he discovers his true parentage, and he loses all trust in Montanelli and the Catholic Church. Feigning suicide, Arthur sails for South America; as Felice Rivarez, he is mutilated, lamed, and disgraced. Years later he returns to Italy as the Gadfly to serve as satirist for the Young Italy movement against Austrian tyranny. Montanelli, now a cardinal, is forced to condemn him to death but tries secretly to rescue him. The Gadfly reveals his identity but refuses to be saved unless Montanelli admits that he and his church are frauds. Montanelli refuses to join the Gadfly and his revolutionary struggle, while the Gadfly refuses to accept mercy from his hypocritical father. After writing a gentle love letter to Gemma, the Gadfly dies, cheerfully mocking the incompetent firing squad. Montanelli, too, dies after declaiming his guilt and God's.
和劉小楓一樣,我從來也不覺得牛虻是一本革命小說,所以每每有人把它和那本煉鋼的扯在一起,我都覺得挺搞笑。 第一次看這本書,是初中一次期中考試前夜。那時候有考前晚上必看漫畫的古怪習慣,好像這樣就會考得比較好似的。不巧機器貓藉齣去瞭,就順手抓瞭這本來看。結果被深...

評分這就是一把割開我心肝的電鋸。???????? 但我真的太愛亞瑟這個形象瞭,塑造的太好瞭,從敏感柔軟的少爺形象,到以毒辣著稱、長相奇特的牛虻形象。唯一不變是他那雙始終天真的藍色眼睛。我真的被虐的死去活來。當一個人信仰被摧毀的時候,崩塌後的重建難以說是一件幸福的事情。我...
評分 評分每個男孩子心中都有一個自己的英雄,他是他們的偶像,打架的信心,被揍的隱忍,痛苦的勇氣,眼淚的死敵,父親的代替,當然也是裝逼耍帥時心口的一股驕傲和熱氣。 現在迴想起來,對我,卻是一個女性的開頭:媽媽介紹《牛虻》給我看,最後加瞭一句感嘆:瓊瑪與亞瑟的愛情呀~~ ...

评分也是受過打擊的人啊
评分因為虻這個字初中還不認識,所以對這本書記憶猶新,當時愛不釋手,貌似有囚禁的片段,記不得瞭,總之也是追求自由的橋段吧。
