Von der hinteren Coverseite

Adrian Mole faces the same agoniesthat life sets before most adolescents:trouble s with girls, school, parents,and an uncaring world. The difference,though, between young Master Mole andhis peers is that this British lad keeps adiary—an earnest chronicle of longingand disaster that has charmed morethan five million readers since its two-volumeinitial publication. From teenagedAdrian’s anguished adoration of a lovely,mercurial schoolmate to hisview of his parents’ constantly creaking  relationship to hisheartfelt but hilarious attemptsat cathartic verse, here is anoutrageous triumph of deadpan—anddeadly accurate—satire. ABBA, PrincessDi’s wedding, street punks, Monty Python,the Falklands campaign . . . all the culturalpageantry of a keenly observed eramarches past the unique perspective ofSue Townsend’s brilliant comic creation:A . Mole, the unforgettable lad whoseself-absorption only gets funnier as hislife becomes more desperate.
