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.

评分我译《小人物日记》 孙仲旭 作为著名的“文化生活译丛”之一种,三联书店今年3月出版了我译的《小人物日记》,读者反应颇好,不出两月便要加印,按说也是对我翻译此书的间接肯定。我愿意借此机会回忆一下这本书的翻译过程,顺便也简单谈谈自己阅读此书的心得。 跟许...
评分没有理由,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...
评分文/lee (一) 花上一段时间来阅读乔治•哥罗斯密和威登•哥罗斯密两兄弟的《小人物日记》是值得的,所以这样说,是因为年能够在阅读中获得乐趣,一种与众不同的乐趣,显然它是轻松的,但绝对不了无意义,它也是俏皮的,但是同样不失为庄重,这是真诚的并且无比认真的甚...
评分首先疑惑我的是这本书的名字应该怎么翻译,很聪明的,叫做《小人物日记》,nobody意味着我们身边的everyone,好的开始往往是成功的一半,一个吸引人的标题就会吸引一大部分读者;再者如果是内容再涉新猎奇一点,那就向畅销的路上跨了一大步,我相信日记这种文体肯定会有一个固...
