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.

用户评价

想知道中文版第11章怎么译的，真是译JQ么？不过貌似重庆谈判的时候，JQ真的也去了呢。。。

非常有趣的小说，幽默讽刺。

历史课本的绝妙替代

今年唯一看完的上了400页的小说。开头精彩，瑞典幽默加上英文翻译那种冷冷的喜感扑面而来。头百页令人惊喜，历史、悬疑、冒险集一身于这个呆萌老头身上。中间段落看就感觉有些鬼扯又班门弄斧了。不得不说不知道是瑞典人三观不正还是黑色幽默，有些地方无法细想。里面倒是用《圣经》里面探讨到底有没有无罪之人的段落给所有角色洗了白，总体来说还是一部很优秀的消遣小说。
