The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared – Jonas Jonasson

Description

In The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, Jonas Jonasson delivers a delightfully absurd and witty novel about Allan Karlsson, who, on his 100th birthday, decides he’s had enough of the nursing home and climbs out the window. What follows is a wild adventure involving a stolen suitcase full of money, a gang of criminals, an incompetent police force, and a host of eccentric companions.

But Allan’s current escapade is just the tip of the iceberg. As the story unfolds, we learn about his incredible past—accidentally influencing major historical events, crossing paths with world leaders, and somehow always landing on his feet, no matter the chaos around him.

Blending dark humour with sharp satire, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared is a unique, laugh-out-loud journey through history and one man’s refusal to let age define him. Perfect for fans of quirky, feel-good stories with a twist.
