Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann

On the day everyone at the retirement home prepares to celebrate his hundredth birthday, Allan Karlsson, who detests such gatherings, climbs out of his window in his slippers and runs off. So begins an improbable getaway across Sweden and a madcap journey through the history of the twentieth century, for behind this frail old man in slippers hides a genius with explosives who, by sheer luck, found himself mixed up in nearly a hundred years of major events alongside Franco, Stalin, Truman and Mao. A wildly funny international bestseller.
