Volg de coming-of-age reis van een van de meest geestige en pijnlijk eerlijke protagonisten uit de Britse literatuur. Deze serie volgt het leven van een tienerintellectueel met hypochondrische neigingen, die zich een weg baant door de puberteit, familiedrama's en de zoektocht naar identiteit. Door zijn dagboekaantekeningen, vol absurde observaties en emotionele turbulentie, krijgen lezers een satirische maar diep empathische kijk op het leven, de liefde en het Britse sociale landschap.






In een dagboek geeft een 15-jarige jongen commentaar op zijn omgeving en op het wereldgebeuren ten tijde van de Falklandoorlog in 1982.

Adrian Mole, der legendäre, tragigkomische Held und Tagebuchschreiber, hat endlich die Pubertät hinter sich gebracht. Das will nicht heißen, dass er nun erwachsen ist - jede Seite seiner neuesten geheimen Aufzeichnungen beweißt das Gegenteil.
A harmincas éveiben járó Adrián továbbra is aggódik: Válhat még belőle jó apa? Csak átverés a Viagra? Miért nem akarja a BBC megfilmesíteni az ő sorozatgyilkosról szóló komédiáját, A fehér furgont? Belsőségekre specializálódott, ünnepelt konyhafőnökként, szingli szülőként és szüzességi fogadalmat tett regényíróként vajon megleli-e a beteljesülést, amire vágyik? Vajon Blair Szép Új Nagy-Britanniájában van-e helye Adrián Mole-nak?
Dlouho očekávané nové pokračování světově proslulé řady knih o věčném smolaři Adrianu Moleovi zavádí čtenáře do Velké Británie roku 2002. Adrian nyní dosáhl středního věku, pracuje v knihkupectví, má za sebou dvě nevydařená manželství a je otcem dvou synů. Jeho sen o kariéře úspěšného spisovatele se rozplynul. Obdiv svého okolí se snaží získat alespoň luxusním bydlením, což ho ovšem uvrhne do zlověstné spirály rostoucího zadlužení. Navíc se málem ožení s Marigold, pološílenou vyznavačkou alter-nativního způsobu života. Najde v sobě sílu zrušit zasnoubení a navázat nový vztah s krásnou Daisy?
The adventures of 33-year-old Adrian Mole as he tries to deal with the people in his life and cope with all that life has to offer him
Adrian Mole is 39 and a quarter. Unable to afford the mortgage on his riverside apartment, he has been forced to move into a semi-detached converted pigsty next door to his parents, George and Pauline. His ravishing wife Daisy loathes the countryside, longs for Dean Street and has yet to buy a pair of Wellingtons; they are both aware the passion has gone out of their marriage, but neither knows how to reignite the flame. To cap it all off, Adrian is leaving his bed numerous times a night to go to the lavatory and has other alarming symptoms, leading him to suspect prostate trouble. Meanwhile, his mother thinks that an appearance on the Jeremy Kyle show might solve the mystery of her daughter’s paternity once and for all. And when George is asked to provide a DNA sample, will the shock kill him? He is already disabled, though still chain smoking and has had an ashtray welded onto the arm of his wheelchair. As Adrian’s worries multiply, a phone call to his old flame Dr Pandora Braithwaite, BA, MA, PhD, MP and Junior Minister in the Foreign Office, ignites memories of a shared passion and makes him wonder – is she the only one who can save him now?
Adrian, now aged twenty-three and three quarters, works for the Department of the Environment, where he has special responibility for newts. He is still besotted with the unattainable Pandora who now has a PhD, a husband, and a spare room in which Adrian is lodging while he waits for her to come to her senses and marry him. Suggested level: secondary.
The latest diaries of this set-upon yet ambitious closet genius are hilariously hedonistic and marvelously moving. They are filled with the kind of soulful, scathing and sly musings all of us indulge in but would never divulge. The most disarming pangs and prevarications are laid bare for our amusement. Adrian Mole - misunderstood, maligned, and muddled - is a nerdy hoot. And oddly captivating.
