Jonas Jonasson nos regala un personaje maravilloso. Un abuelo sin prejuicios que no está dispuesto a renunciar al placer de vivir. Momentos antes de que empiece la pomposa celebración de su centésimo cumpleaños, Allan Karlsson decide que nada de eso va con él. Vestido con su mejor traje y unas pantuflas, se encarama a una ventana y se fuga de la residencia donde vive, dejando plantados al alcalde y a la prensa local.

Eine abenteuerliche Reise, eine geheime Mission, eine fast perfekte Rache - ein echter Jonasson! Wunderbar verrückt und respektlos komisch: Profitgieriger schwedischer Galerist, der für Geld über Leichen geht, trifft auf kenianischen Massai-Krieger, der nicht genau weiß, was Geld ist, dafür aber ein millionenschweres Gemälde besitzt... In seiner einzigartigen Erzählweise beschreibt Jonasson einen Kultur-Clash der Extraklasse und hält den Menschen den Spiegel vor.
