"Tajni Dnevnik Adrijana Mola" translates to "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole" in English. This is a popular series of young adult novels by Sue Townsend, which follows the life of Adrian Mole, a teenager growing up in Leicester, England, in the 1980s.
Reading Tajni Dnevnik Adrijana Mola (the Serbian/Croatian edition of the classic) feels oddly like reading your own teenage diary — if your teenage diary had been written by someone much funnier, more honest, and completely unaware of how tragically funny he is.
Here’s why this book still hits home:
The gap between how Adrian sees himself and how the world sees him
He thinks he’s an unpublished genius. We see a boy who can’t spell “mediocre” correctly. That gap is where the comedy lives. But also — the pain.
The parents’ divorce through a child’s eyes
Adrian reports on his father’s affairs and mother’s new boyfriend like a war correspondent. No melodrama. Just entries like: “My mother ran away with Mr. Lucas from next door. I’m making shepherd’s pie.” That’s devastating.
The timelessness of feeling like a fraud
Adrian is convinced he has every possible medical condition (hypochondria included). He writes letters to the BBC. He tries to save the world from nuclear war while failing his maths exam. Sound familiar?
Poštovaćemo zakon i nećemo vam ovde dati link. Ali vam savetujemo: otiđite u svoju lokalnu biblioteku. Knjižničari su neverovatno snalažljivi. Mnoge biblioteke u Nišu, Novom Sadu, Rijeci ili Tuzli imaju staru, požutelu kopiju koju možete skenirati na licu mesta (uz dozvolu).
In Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian schools, excerpts from Tajni Dnevnik Adrijana Mola are often used to teach diary-writing, humor, and character development. Teachers frequently search for the PDF to share specific chapters on classroom projectors, avoiding the need for 30 physical copies.
