THE GADFLY by Ethel Lilian Voynich

I first read this book in Russian translation when I was 12. Although I didn't fully understand the 1 __________ (POLITICS) aspect of the novel, I cried over the story for weeks. The story is set in 19th century Italy when it was under Austrian rule.

The main character, Arthur Burton, is 2 __________ (SECRET) struggling against the Austrians for the freedom of Italy. The police learn about his activities, and his friends consider him a 3 __________ (HEART) traitor. Gemma, the girl he loves, refuses to see him. Arthur leaves for South Africa, making everyone believe he has taken his own life. His life in South Africa is very hard, he faces human 4 __________ (CRUEL). Fifteen years later, he returns to Italy and becomes a 5 __________ (JOURNAL) and a revolutionary known as the 6 __________ (MYSTERY) Gadfly. He expresses his ideas in brilliant 7 __________ (SATIRE) essays published under the pseudonym the Gadfly. Like a gadfly, Arthur Burton bites and annoys people in positions of power with 8 __________ (CRITIC), ideas, and demands. In his 9 __________ (WRITE) he bitterly criticises the Austrian Empire rulers of Italy and Catholic Church. The end of the book is deeply moving. Facing execution, this 10 __________ (COURAGE) man still promises more revolutionary protests.
