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.
亚瑟死了,亚瑟到底死了。 将书远远扔开,五秒后,又走过去弯腰捡起。治疗眼睛干涩的好东西并非只有新乐敦。 虽然当初仅仅是因为看见难得装帧符合口味的伏尼契; 虽然明明是因为无聊一上来就直接翻过结尾的,明明早就听见了枪声。 但,一页一页的走过亚瑟,走过波拉,走过...
评分 评分”一个行将死去的人有权憧憬他的一个幻想,我的幻想就是你应该明白为什么我对你总是那么粗暴,为何久久忘却不掉旧日的怨恨。你当然明白是为什么,我告诉你只是因为我乐意写信给你。在你还是一个难看的小姑娘时,琼玛,我就爱你。那时,你穿着方格花布连衣裙,系着一块皱巴巴的...
因为虻这个字初中还不认识,所以对这本书记忆犹新,当时爱不释手,貌似有囚禁的片段,记不得了,总之也是追求自由的桥段吧。
