Description:

Efter ett långt och synnerligen händelserikt liv hamnar Allan Karlsson på det äldrehem han tänker ska bli hans sista anhalt på jorden. Problemet är bara att hälsan vägrar ge vika, och en dag bär det sig inte bättre än att det är dags för honom att fylla tresiffrigt. Pompa och ståt väntar, med kommunalråd och lokaltidning på plats. Ett spektakel så oönskat av Allan att han i stället kliver ut genom fönstret. Därmed är han på rymmen från sitt eget födelsedagskalas. I hastigheten råkar Allan få med sig en väska som han bara skulle vakta ett slag och strax har han både tjuvar och poliser efter sig. // Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann handlar om en månadslång jakt genom Sverige på Allan och hans nyfunna vänner. Men boken är också en resa genom 1900-talet - den oändligt sorglöse Allan Karlssons livsresa. Hur kommer det sig egentligen att Allan äter middag med blivande presidenten Truman? Och får lift med förre premiärministern Churchill? Och åker flodbåt med ordförande Maos unga hustru? Eller för den delen att han tillbringar flera månader med att vandra över Himalaya? Trots att Allan är fullständigt ointresserad av politik och religion tycks han ha påverkat de flesta av det förra seklets stora händelser i världen. I hundra år gjorde Allan Karlsson världen osäker, bara genom att vara. Och nu är han lös igen. // Sagt om boken: ''En charmig Forrest Gump-liknande historia. En makalöst rolig bok som fyller i skrattrynkorna. Riktigt uppfriskande. ... ett underbart, komplicerat och givande äventyr.'' (Smålänningen) // ''Årets roligaste! Betyg 4 av 5'' (Hemmets Journal) // ''Sjövild och galen, en hejdlöst rolig historia om en hundraårig man som är på rymmen från ålderdomshemmet. I klass med Arto Paasilinnas bästa.'' (Ingalill Mosander, Aftonbladet)

5Very enjoyable and if you liked e.g. Forest Gump...Jan 16, 2011
By FRISTEDT BO
This book is very easy to read and enjoyable and will give you many laughs as it passes through last century's history from a very simple but important (in the novel) man's view. You don't want to end reading until the last page.

4Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvannNov 13, 2012
By Daniel Lufkin
En rolig, handlingsrik bok om en hundraåringen Allan Karlsson som rymmer från äldrehemmet straks innan själva kalasen. Han har ju fyllt 100 år men hälsan vägrar ge vika. I hastigheten tar han med sig en väska som har hade lovat att vakta ett slag. Nu har han poliser och tjuvar efter sig.

5..unbelieveable.. believeable..unbelieveable, etc!Jun 05, 2011
By Knut L. Seip "The environmental reader"
I do not quite understand that I believe this unbelievable story sufficiently to continue reading. And even to reflect on what is happening in this story's historic sections - that is, in about every other chapter. Maybe the plot is just ingeniously developed? No! to grab our fascination, this type of story also have to be well written. However, it is not well written as in a novel by Kundera, or any other author I admire. So, it enlarges my ideas of what well written should mean.

I like the 100 year old hero, Allan Karlsson, in spite of almost every single characteristic that are ascribed to him. The last sentence in the book summaries Allan Karlssons character in 5 words - or maybe we should include the four last sentences to make it quite right. The four last sentences are not there by accident. They belong to an epilogue. The epilogue may belong to a statement of philosophy, but like the rest of the text, one have to read harder to find the philosopical "statements" than to find the bizarre, funny situations. The latter, by the way, drives the story very fast through 100 years of my parents and my history, or rather the worlds history seem from an ordinary family's concurrent reading of that history. (Norway was separated from Sweden a month after Allan Karlsson was borne.)

Maybe I am reading too much into the text, or may be the author let slip out too much of his philosophical alter ego. Probably because he does not know it is there, or maybe he knows, or not? etc.
