"The Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is a work that belongs to the top of humor classics, the main character of which, Charles Pooter, first appeared before readers in the pages of the English satirical magazine Punch in 1888. Since then, the work, which was later published as a book, has been republished almost every year. The name of the main character has also become a kind of synonym for everyone who considers the insignificant little things in their daily lives so important that the rest of the world should definitely hear about and care about them. Now, the work, which was selected by The Telegraph as one of the fifteen best humor books of all time, is also available in Estonian, giving our readers the opportunity to finally get to know the most important man in the world and to be part of his wise thoughts and important daily activities.
This comic masterpiece, which contains the activities of the ridiculously pompous and prone to mishaps Charles Pooter, his wife Carrie and their troublesome son Lupin, has provided reading pleasure to several generations of readers and has inspired many respected writers such as J. B. Priestley, Evelyn Waugh, Helen Fielding and Sue Townsend.
In 2007, a film was made about "The Diary of a Senseless Man", in which the title role is played by Hugh Bonneville, a beloved actor in Estonia ("Notting Hill", "Downton Abbey").
