«The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared» is Jonas Jonasson's comic novel published by Faber & Faber in paperback.
On turning one hundred, Allan Karlsson escapes the retirement home through the window in his slippers. His flight turns into a picaresque adventure involving criminals, a suitcase full of money and bumbling police. In parallel, episodes from his past emerge: he helped create the atomic bomb and rubbed shoulders with presidents, tyrants and leaders of the twentieth century.
First instalment of the The Hundred-Year-Old Man series. English translation by Rod Bradbury of the Swedish original Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann (2009).
A good choice for reading groups and for readers looking for humour, adventure and historical fiction.
Pär-Ola Jonas Jonasson is a Swedish journalist and writer, best known as the author of the best-seller The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.
