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.
A British teenager struggles to cope with the day-to-day problems of adolescence.

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?

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?
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.
