For more than a hundred years, the novel "Gadfly" has excited many generations of readers, but it was met in different ways. Puritan England treated it with restraint. In America, he caused a storm of indignation with its anti-religious character, in Russia, it was enthusiastically welcomed, in the USSR, it was published in millions of copies and was included in the school curriculum. It is not by chance that the title of the novel, it refers us to Socrates, who accepted death for his beliefs. The protagonist Gadfly, like the Greek sage, remains true to the ideas that inspired him from his youth. Gadfly is an international type of revolutionary. In different epochs, different societies perceived the novel ambiguously. Today it can once again find its fans.
