Jonas Jonasson was born in Sweden in 1962. He has a professional background as a journalist and media consultant. The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared is his first novel which Jonasson describes as 'an intelligent, very stupid book'. He is currently working on his second.
It all starts on the one-hundredth birthday of Allan Karlsson. Sitting quietly in his room in an old people's home, he is waiting for the party he-never-wanted-anyway to begin. The mayor is going to be there. The press is going to be there. But, as it turns out, Allan is not...Slowly but surely Allan climbs out of his bedroom window, into the flowerbed (in his slippers) and 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, we learn something of Allan's earlier life in which - remarkably - he helped to make the atom bomb, became friends with American presidents, Russian tyrants, and Chinese leaders, and was a participant behind the scenes in many key events of the twentieth century. Already a huge bestseller across Europe, The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared is a fun, feel-good book for all ages. Translated by Rod Bradbury.

评分历史课本的绝妙替代
评分超级可爱的一本书,贯穿二战,冷战直到现在。作者构思天马行空,主人公Allan不仅以百岁老人的身份【误】杀了两个蠢货,年轻时更是把二战及冷战时期数一数二的大人物见了个遍(什么罗斯福杜鲁门,被老蒋和夫人追杀竟阴差阳错救了江青后又在朝鲜落难时被毛大大认出并相救...丘吉尔斯大林...一个没跑掉)扯得不要不要的,标准瑞典风~
评分历史课本的绝妙替代
评分Humorous, absurd and entertaining. The author's knowledge of modern world history is also quite impressive. Yet it does get rather repetitive from the second half.
