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.

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》,...
评分有了一个难得的空闲期,除了早会、上午会、下午会便没有什么工作了,我居然也能几天读完一本书了。 图书馆里我挑中了这本《小人物日记》。向来喜欢看薄书的我摸着它的纸张也很喜欢。看了几页就更喜欢了。 书中英式幽默无处不在,集中通过Pooter先生这个小人物和他的日记表现出...
评分(再次,再次重申,这本书没看,但是我要写的,也是一个小人物。) 邹爷来上班之前的一天,我便知道了,他会是一个和我很相似的人。因为洪总监在面试过他之后,很严肃地对小许说,这个人,感觉很不错,不要外派,更不要放在地产部。放在那里,他就毁了。据说,我来之前,也被...
评分这篇评论是好几年前写的了,哎,当时还是个有心境读书的大学生啊。 这本书出自《外研社双语读库》这套丛书,一套里每本书基本上都堪称经典,至于翻译,至少在这本书里,我觉得翻得相当不错。(只看过这一本,别的也不好评论)在此本人感谢外研社专家倾尽全力的翻译,亦感谢论...
