”The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out of his Window and Disappeared” comes to Britain

[2012-07-16] The bestselling book "The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out of his Window and Disappeared", written by the Swedish author Jonas Jonasson, hits British bookshops this week.

The book has sold three million copies in two years and has been translated into 35 different languages. Even though Jonansson’s novel has been a success in most other European countries it has “taken a surprisingly long time to find a UK publisher”, according to the Telegraph.

The humorous satire, filled with laugh-out-loud moments, provides another perspective of Swedish literature. Scandinavian fiction is otherwise most often associated with thrillers and detective dramas. Those who have already read the book will be happy to learn that the book will also be released as a film late next year, starring Robert Gustafsson as the main character Allan Karlsson.
