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.

《小人物日记》 不管媒体怎么好评该书,我 ,大概是粗人的缘故,始终无法理解钱老先生赞誉的幽默在那里。五六行就冒出来的一句不知所云的俏皮话,每次都要掉下去看页脚的英文原文,着实是很累。当然三联爱用的给爱书人的白色封皮和里面的钢笔插画,还是深得我心,形式主义又开...
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...
评分这本书算不上什么大作,但内容却非常的有趣,可能有些人会认为太过"絮叨"了,不过家长里短,但细细品位还是很不错的一本书。如果你是一个肯耐下心来端详生活的人,那么这本书就再适合不过了。
评分没有期望的那么搞笑,不过也蛮搞笑了~ 一想起那个“马拉第二”,我就想笑——哎,小人物的虚荣和健忘总是难免的。。。 还有“股票投资”事件,老爸听儿子的建议,想小小地赚一点却折了本——这样的事我真知道有;没办法,历史总是重演啊~ 最后,我发现,如果我想给我的日记...
评分如果我一直不给“小人物日记”打分,它就坚持死样怪气荡在我的“豆瓣猜你会喜欢的书目”里。而且始终站在头一栏,搞得像重点推荐似的。虽然不清楚豆瓣的推荐规则,仍觉得它有点对头——我不去理这本书,它却找上门来,似乎晓得私人关系决定了自己的重要性。关于此书,我写...
After this novel and Daddy long legs, finally I get used to the English Accent……
评分加上语气反而失色,神秘
