Book Description
The Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.
The diary is that of someone who acknowledges that he is not a "somebody" - Charles Pooter, a clerk in the city of London, chronicles with often hilarious detail the everyday life of the lower middle classes during the great Victorian Age.
From AudioFile
The greatness of George and Weedon Grossmith's masterpiece of comic irony, THE DIARY OF A NOBODY, rests to a large extent on perceptions of class. It purports to be the diary of Charles Pooter, a lower-middle-class individual of the mid-nineteenth century who lives at "The Laurels," Brickfield Terrace, Holloway. This address alone, simultaneously poignant and stifling, reverberates with blandly devastating irony--a note sustained at perfect pitch throughout the book. Pooter is house-proud, thrifty, scrupulous in duty, alive to social niceties and given to the occasional punning witticism, but the story he tells is not quite the story he believes he's telling. Frederick Davidson's impeccable reading is truly inspired, in perfect unity with the Pooteresque view of the world.

乔治・格罗史密斯(George Grossmith, 1847-1912),幽默小品(短剧)和歌曲的创作者、表演者与演唱者,当时有名的多伊利・卡特剧团的台柱,是杰出的喜剧天才,著有自传《大众小丑》。
威登・格罗史密斯(Weedon Grossmith,1854-1919),乔治的弟弟,剧作家、画家和大众喜剧演员;他不仅与哥哥乔治共同写作了“日记”,还为《小人物日记》画了插图。
没有理由,也没有证据,但我觉得这本书和《围城》有点像。 Both of them relate stories of Nobodies. Both of them were written in an age preceeding my birth. However,neither of them will fade into the time as my mortal coil will. If you are Somebo...
评分作为一个《越狱》迷,我一直迷恋那段情节:米帅的哥哥劝他不要越狱,说nobody能够从狐狸河逃出去。米帅淡定地答道:“I am nobody.”米帅说这话时的镇定和自信,很打动我,一段时期以来我把它当成我的座右铭,激励自己做别人做不到的事情. 然而,最近看了《The dairy of nobody》,...
评分昨天一天过得闲闲散散的,就拿起《小人物日记》翻看。二十三章,每章只短短的三四页,阅读起来很轻松。中午坐在阳台上晒太阳,看了几页,后来发现风太大,就移入室内继续看了些。下午M来邀吃中饭,就将这本小书塞进包中,在等我的黑芝麻汤圆的间歇又翻看了几页。晚上,去C...
评分小人物,鸡毛蒜皮的日常生活,流水帐。不可思议的是由作者精心虚构而来的,更不可思议的是百多年来还一版再版。 那种阅读的感觉大概可以跟阅读《阿Q正传》类似(当然主题是相去甚远的):初读,觉得主角非常可笑,看着乐;后来,觉得主角好像就在自己身边,还不只一个;...
评分查尔斯.普特尔,一个刻板老套、乏味虚荣、容易满足的主人公。在日复一日地生活着,他的生活目标,就是成为一个体面的绅士。通篇的家长里短、柴米油盐,字斟句酌地构思几句自以为幽默的话语,再以貌似漫不经心的方式说出去,然后内心颇为自得与窃喜。喜怒哀乐之所系,全是些于别...
真的……超好笑
评分看来不论时代和国家,小老百姓的生活都是相似的: 老实巴交,和商贩斗智斗勇时总处于下风。有点小虚荣,向往上层阶级,却总是在社交中频频遭遇失败。真心想要和孩子搞好关系,却总是忍不住干涉太多而惹他厌。。。看的时候一边笑一边心酸因为看到了自己的影子。。。
评分关上家门的事,home sweet home~ Witty British
评分被书名吸引,结果内容远不是书名这般文艺。小人物的故事,还是更爱局外人。
评分加上语气反而失色,神秘
