Jonas Jonasson The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and

THE GLOBAL BESTSELLER Sitting quietly in his room in an old peoples home, Allan Karlsson is waiting for a party he doesnt want to begin. His onehundredth birthday party to be precise. The Mayor will be there. The press will be there. But, as it turns out, Allan will not . . .Escaping (in his slippers) through his bedroom window, into the flowerbed, Allan makes his getaway. And so begins his picaresque and unlikely journey involving criminals, several murders, a suitcase full of cash, and incompetent police. As his escapades unfold, Allans earlier life is revealed. A life in which remarkably he played a key role behind the scenes in some of the momentous events of the twentieth century.
