The nerve-wracking novel by Booker Prize winner Margaret Atwood «The Handmaid's Tale» is a compelling panorama of a future that could begin tomorrow.
For over a hundred years, the novel «The Gadfly» has stirred many generations of readers, but it has been met with mixed responses. Puritan England received it with restraint. In America, it caused a storm of outrage due to its anti-religious nature, while in Russia it was enthusiastically welcomed, and in the USSR, it was published in millions of copies and included in the school curriculum. The title of the novel is not accidental, as it refers us to Socrates, who accepted death for his beliefs. The main character, the Gadfly, like the Greek sage, remains true to the ideas that inspired him since his youth. The Gadfly is an international type of revolutionary. In different eras and societies, the novel has been perceived ambiguously. Today, it can again find its admirers.
