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.
每个男孩子心中都有一个自己的英雄,他是他们的偶像,打架的信心,被揍的隐忍,痛苦的勇气,眼泪的死敌,父亲的代替,当然也是装逼耍帅时心口的一股骄傲和热气。 现在回想起来,对我,却是一个女性的开头:妈妈介绍《牛虻》给我看,最后加了一句感叹:琼玛与亚瑟的爱情呀~~ ...

评分 评分刚刚在网上看到一帖子,问陈奕迅的《单车》究竟是歌颂还是声讨?下面的评论很精彩,大部分人认为这是一首赞颂父爱内敛低调的歌。我初听得时候也是这么觉得,当然中间有参杂的苦涩和遗憾我们也都能感觉得出来。然后帖子里面有人直接贴出作词人黄伟文对这首歌的看法,令我相当惊...
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。
