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.

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。
评分大人物的传记很多,而我这里要说的这一本实在是太不简单了:它从1891年面世以来就一直在卖,事隔一百一十几年还在卖,据说新书还卖二十美元一本——是谁这么有吸引力能抵抗住时间抵抗住风潮甚至抵抗住中西文化差异?女士们先生们,我很荣幸为你们介绍这本传记的主人公:伟...
评分本书主人公的日子过得也挺好的,有自己热爱的家,有善待他的老板,更好的是有情投意合的妻子,有时晚上上床前还能与朋友一起聊聊玩玩. 尽管他没有热血沸腾的理想与未来,身边的日子也满是各种小烦恼. 可是又有多少普通人能有这样平稳幸福的心态呢?还不是老担心一些更大的医疗教育婚...
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...
普通的生活也可以如此有趣
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。
