The Diary of a Nobody
The Diary of a Nobody

Victorian clerk's humorous misadventures and domestic satire.

"The Diary of a Nobody" is a classic that captures the quintessentially British blend of humor and social satire, offering a charming glimpse into the life of the ever-optimistic Mr. Pooter. His comedic struggles with the quirks of daily life in late Victorian England could well resonate with you if you appreciate a light-hearted, endearingly human portrayal of the pursuit of dignity against all odds.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

I fail to see - because I do not happen to be a 'Somebody' - why my diary should be not be interesting. Mr Pooter is a man of modest ambition and content with his lot. So why is he always in trouble with tradesmen, colleagues and friends? However hard he tries life always seems to pile mishaps onto him - but he's not about to give up.
