Suivez le parcours initiatique de l'un des protagonistes les plus spirituels et douloureusement honnêtes de la littérature britannique. Cette série retrace la vie d'un adolescent intellectuel aux tendances hypocondriaques, naviguant à travers l'adolescence, les drames familiaux et la quête d'identité. À travers ses entrées de journal intime, remplies d'observations absurdes et de tourments émotionnels, les lecteurs obtiennent un regard satirique mais profondément empathique sur la vie, l'amour et le paysage social britannique.
Adrian Mole's first love, Pandora, has left him; a neighbor, Mr. Lucas, appears to be seducing his mother (and what does that mean for his father?); the BBC refuses to publish his poetry; and his dog swallowed the tree off the Christmas cake. "Why" indeed.
The troubled life of Adrian Mole continues in this sequel to The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4. Adrian continues to struffle valiantly against the slings and arrows of growing up and his own family's attempts to scar him for life.
These further writings take Adrian Mole from the ages of 16 to 21, describing the young diarist's first job as a librarian, and his later role at the Department of the Environment, where he struggles manfully to preserve the Earth's ozone layer.

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?

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 thirty-nine and a quarter, struggling to afford his riverside apartment and facing mounting debts. Forced to relocate to a dreary area near Mangold Parva, he now lives in a semi-detached converted pigsty next to his parents, George and Pauline. Adrian works at a second-hand bookshop owned by the aristocratic Mr. Carlton-Hayes, whom he wishes he could see as a father figure. His glamorous wife, Daisy, despises the countryside and longs for city life, both aware that their marriage has lost its spark but unsure how to revive it. Compounding his troubles, Adrian is experiencing alarming health issues, leading him to suspect prostate problems. Meanwhile, his mother is writing a fictional misery memoir about her childhood and believes an appearance on The Jeremy Kyle Show could resolve the mystery of her daughter's paternity. Questions arise about Mr. Lucas, their former neighbor, and the potential shock of a paternity test for George, who, despite being disabled, continues to smoke. As Adrian's concerns grow, a slightly tipsy call to his former love, Dr. Pandora Braithwaite, stirs memories of their past and leaves him wondering if she might be his salvation.
All the Mole diaries in one volume, including material from the mature Adrian.
The Lost Years
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.
