Book ID/图书代码: 12844010B38597
English Summary/英文概要: Monday June 13th 1988
I had a good, proper look at myself in the mirror tonight. I’ve always wanted to look clever, but at the age of twenty years and three months I have to admit that I look like a person who has never even heard of Jung or Updike.
Adrian Mole has grown up. At least that’s what it says on his passport. But living at home, clinging to his threadbare cuddly rabbit ‘Pinky’, working as a paper pusher for the DoE and pining for the love of his life Pandora has proved to him that adulthood isn’t quite what he hoped it would be. Still, intellectual poets can’t always have things their own way …
Included here are two other less well-known diarists: Sue Townsend and Margaret Hilda Roberts, a rather ambitious grocer’s daughter from Grantham.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 把我的日记寄回去。我不希望它们落入不友好的,可能是商业对手的手中。我怕被讹诈;你知道我的日记里全是性和丑闻。阿德里安莫尔怎么了?他即将成年,作为一名发表过作品的诗人,他的事业蒸蒸日上。但是…他仍然住在家里,拒绝丢弃他那只破旧的玩具兔子,还因为一个令人震惊的鲁莽行为失去了在图书馆的工作:他把简奥斯汀的著作放在了“轻浪漫”(light romance)的书架上。更糟糕的是,一个名叫Sue Townsend的人偷了他的日记,并以自己的名义出版了它们。它们当然是畅销书。
