Description
By Jonas Jonasson
On the day of his hundredth birthday, with the mayor and the local press waiting downstairs for the party, Allan Karlsson climbs out of the window of his care home in his slippers and walks away.
At the bus station he takes charge of a suitcase that does not belong to him, which is how a hundred-year-old man acquires a criminal gang, a police manhunt and an elephant. Between chapters, the novel tells how Allan spent the previous century blowing things up on behalf of most of the great powers, and being oddly present at the century’s turning points.
