Sue Townsend Adrian Mole is thirty-nine and a quarter. He lives in the country in a semi-detached converted pigsty with his wife Daisy and their daughter. His parents George and Pauline live in the adjoining pigsty. But all is not well. The secondhand bookshop in which Adrian works is threatened with closure. The spark has fizzled out of his marriage. His mother is threatening to write her autobiography (A Girl Called Shit). And Adrian's nightly trips to the lavatory have become alarmingly frequent. As his troubles multiply, a drunken call to old flame Dr Pandora Braithwaite (BA, MA, PhD, MP and Junior Minister) awakens memories of what might have been and causes Adrian to wonder: is Pandora the only one who can possibly save him?

293 рубAdrian Mole: The Wilderness Years
Sue Townsend Wednesday April 3rd. I am twenty-four and one day old. Question: What have I done with my life? Answer: Nothing. Grahame Greene died today. I wrote to him four years ago, pointing out a grammatical error in his book, The Human Factor. He didn't reply. Adrian Mole has at last reached physical maturity, but he can't help roaming the pages of his diary like an untamed adolescent. Finally given the heave-ho by Pandora, he seeks solace in the arms of Bianca, a qualified hydraulic engineer masquerading as a waitress. Between his dishwashing job and completing his epic novel, Lo! The Flat Hills of My Homeland, Adrian hopes that fame and fortune will not keep him waiting much longer. Издание на английском языке. Формат: 11 см х 18 см.

Sue Townsend This is a compassionate and gritty examination of love and loss from one of Britain's most-loved writers. Seventeen years ago, Angela Carr aborted an unwanted child.

Can they be happy together at last? Or will the mistakes of the past eclipse their bright future? "Bleak, tender and deeply affecting. Seldom have I rooted so hard for a set of fictional individuals" - "Mail on Sunday". Формат: 13 см x 19,5 см.

572 рубLost Diaries of Adrian Mole
Sue Townsend Confiscated for seven years by HM police - in the mistaken belief that they might incriminate the author - these diaries tell of Adrian Mole's lost years on the cusp of the second millennium. The "same age as Jesus when he died", Adrian has become a martyr: a single father bringing up two young boys alone in an uncaring world. With the ever unattainable Pandora pursuing her ambition to become Labour's first female PM; his over-achieving half-brother, Brett, sponging off him; and literary success as elusive as ever, Adrian tries to make ends meet. But little does he realize that his own modest life is about to come to the attention of those charged with policing The War Against Terror...

Townsend Sue A semil comic masterpiece of our time, now published for the first time in Penguin. The Monarchy Has Been Dismantled; When a Republican party wins the General Election, their first act in power is to strip the royal family of their assets and titles and end them to live on a housing estate in the Midlands. Exchanging Buckingham Palace for a two-bedroomed semi in Hell Close (as the locals dub it), caviar for boiled eggs, servants for a social worker named Trish, the Queen and her family learn what it mean to be poor among the great unwashed. But is their breeding sufficient to allow them to rise above their changed circumstance or deep down are they really just like everyone else?

Sue Townsend What if being royal was a crime? The UK has come over all republican. The royal family exiled to an exclusion zone with the other villains and spongers. And to cap it all, the Queen has threatened to ahdicate. Yet Prince Charles is more interested in root vegetables than reigning… unless his wife Camilla can he queen in a newly restored monarchy. And when a scoundrel who claims to be the couple's secret love child offers to take the crown off their hands, the stage is set for a right royal showdown. But the question for Camilla (and rest of the country) must be: queen of the vegetable patch or queen of England?

Sue Townsend "The True Confessions of Adrian Mole" is the third in the series to be part of Penguin's Sue Townsend repackaging programme. A chance to sell Sue Townsend to a whole new audience! Adrian Mole has grown up. At least that's what it says on his passport. But living at home, clinging to his threadbare cuddly rabbit "Pinky", working as a paper pusher for the DoE and pining for the love of his life Pandora has proved to him that adulthood isn't quite what he hoped it would be. Still, intellectual poets can't always have things their own way... Included here are two other less well-known diarists: Sue Townsend and Margaret Hilda Roberts, a rather ambitious grocer's daughter from Grantham. Формат: 11 см x 18 см.
