«El abuelo que saltó por la ventana y se largó» is the humorous novel by Jonas Jonasson, published by Salamandra Bolsillo in paperback (416 pages).
Allan Karlsson escapes from the care home when they are about to celebrate his hundredth birthday and boards a bus with a suitcase full of money that isn't his. The flight alternates with his memoirs: a chance-filled life in which he met Franco, Stalin and Churchill, worked for the CIA and helped Oppenheimer with the atomic bomb. A zany comedy about the twentieth century and an old man who never stopped enjoying life.
First instalment of the The Hundred-Year-Old Man series; translation from Swedish by Sofía Pascual Pape. Original title: Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann.
Novel suitable for readers looking for humour, historical satire and adventure; also works for reading groups.
