One of the most popular revolutionary novels!
Arthur Burton is young, full of freedom-loving ideas and romantic illusions. Having survived the betrayal of his comrades and his beloved woman—and having lost everything—he disappears, only to return completely different, with a new name and appearance. But behind the mask of a matured, mocking and biting Ovad (the Vode), it’s still the same impulsive Arthur, as faithful as ever to the beautiful ideals of his youth.
Romance of the national liberation struggle, the tragedy of a great, passionate, and unhappy love, an exciting plot with gripping intrigue, and the main hero’s unusually multifaceted and charming image—all of this helped the novel “The Gadfly” become timeless.
