Bücher von George Grossmith

The brothers George and Weedon Grossmith are the authors of the comic book The Diary of a Nobody. Charles Pooter and his wife Caroline (Carrie) have recently relocated to "The Laurels," Brickfield Terrace, Holloway. The Pooters are invited to the "Representatives of Trade and Commerce" event being held in the Mansion House. They are astonished to be welcomed by their neighbourhood ironmonger, who looks to be friendly with some of the more prominent attendees, when they arrive. Pooter drinks too much champagne and embarrasses Carrie by passing out on the dance floor. A new socioeconomic catastrophe starts April. The East Acton Rifle Brigade invites The Pooters to a ball, but it's a tacky, downtrodden affair. Pooter receives a large bill, and additional social gatherings-like a luncheon with Mr. Finsworth and a meeting with Mr. Hardfur Huttle, who resembles a more experienced Lupin-become unpleasant. Read this humorous fiction novel to know how he overcomes the situation.

This comic novel by brothers George and Weedon Grossmith remains as entertaining and relevant today as the day it was first published.When it first appeared as a Punch magazine serial in 1888-89, The Diary of a Nobody became a minor sensation for its quirkiness and wit. George Grossmith was already an accomplished musical entertainer, having contributed to Gilbert and Sullivan's comic operas during the 1870s and 1880s, while Weedon was a notable actor and playwright. Combining their talents into this book, the result is an astute and amusing social satire with plentiful relevance even today. Much of The Diary of a Nobody's humour is derived from the protagonist's unwarranted sense of self-importance. Charles Pooter commonly affirms his sense of worthiness the text, but in actuality undergoes a series of small humiliations in social life, all the while striving for goals which had become common tropes of the lower-middle classes in English society.
