THE GLOBAL BESTSELLER Sitting quietly in his room in an old
people's home, Allan Karlsson is waiting for a party he doesn't
want to begin. His one-hundredth 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, Allan's 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. Translated by Roy
Bradbury.

Fantastic!

Such a fantastical tale! What would you do on your hundredth birthday? I'm pretty sure it's not what happened here! I guess it's helpful if you have lived the life Allan has, with no plans anyway.
