After experiencing a long and legendary life, Alain Karlsson moved into a senior citizen apartment that he thought would be his last stop on earth. But the problem is, his health refuses to yield. One day, he actually lived to a three-digit age. A gorgeous celebration awaited him, with the mayor and local newspapers in place. But he didn't want to see such a scene, so he unexpectedly climbed out of the window and escaped from his birthday party. In a hurry, he accidentally got a suitcase - originally he only needed to take care of it, but in the blink of an eye, he became the target of criminal gangs and the police because the suitcase contained 50 million in cash! "The Centenarian Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared" tells the story of a month-long pursuit of Alang and his temporary acquaintances, all over Sweden. At the same time, this book also tells a journey through the twentieth century - the life journey of carefree Alain Karlsson. How could Aaron save Franco and have dinner with Truman, who was about to become president? Why did he hitch a ride on former Prime Minister Winston Churchill and be thrown into the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in China? And how did he spend those months crossing the Himalayas? Although Alang is completely uninterested in politics and religion, he seems to have appeared and played a key role in most of the major global events of the last century. In the past hundred years, wherever Alain Karlsson appeared, he would be disturbed. And now, he is gone again...
