The Gadfly
“I AM NOT A MAN; I AM A KNIFE. IF YOU LET ME LIVE, YOU SANCTION KNIVES.”
Madeline: My inaugural pick is The Gadfly—the most incendiary novel of the nineteenth century that you’ve never heard of. Set in Italy during the Risorgimento, The Gadfly is a thrilling tale of betrayal and revolution, and follows the adventures and misadventures of a mysterious satirist, a hard-working lady-radical, and a Catholic cardinal with a dark secret. Published in 1897 by Irish writer Ethel Lilian Voynich, The Gadfly sold millions of copies in the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China, though it has been largely forgotten in the English-speaking world…UNTIL NOW! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll smuggle guns over the border, and, if you’re anything like the Gadfly, you’ll do it all with incomparable style.
This is the book for you if:
You’re a troublemaker.
You’re an unrepentant Catholic.
You have daddy issues.
You can’t take a joke
The Gadfly features a new introduction by Madeline Porsella. Printed in limited quantities, sold as a numbered edition of 250.
