About the Collection

Jonas Jonasson is known for comic novels featuring unconventional characters whose lives develop in increasingly unexpected directions. His official bibliography includes these four titles among his novels.

The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared introduces Allan Karlsson, who escapes his retirement home on his 100th birthday and embarks on an extraordinary journey. Along the way, his past and a succession of unlikely historical encounters become part of the story.

The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man brings Allan and his companion Julius back for another improbable adventure. A hot-air-balloon trip leads to a series of events involving international diplomacy and a suitcase containing contraband uranium. It is the sequel to Jonasson's debut novel.

The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden follows Nombeko Mayeki, a young woman from Soweto whose remarkable intelligence and an extraordinary chain of circumstances eventually place her at the centre of an international crisis involving the Swedish monarchy.

Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All centres on Per Persson, a hotel receptionist who becomes involved with a professional hitman and an unusual scheme that changes the course of their lives.

Why This Set Works

This collection brings together four distinctive comic novels featuring eccentric characters • improbable adventures • satire • friendship • unexpected situations • social observation • unconventional storytelling.

The books are primarily standalone novels, although The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man directly continues Allan Karlsson's story from The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.
