{"product_id":"9780349141800","title":"The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt all starts on the one-hundredth birthday of Allan Karlsson. \u003cbr\u003eSitting quietly in his room in an old people's home, he is waiting for the party he-never-wanted-anyway to begin. The Mayor is going to be there. The press is going to be there. But, as it turns out, Allan is not… Slowly but surely Allan climbs out of his bedroom window, into the flowerbed (in his slippers) and makes his getaway.\u003cbr\u003eAnd so begins his picaresque and unlikely journey involving criminals, several murders, a suitcase full of cash, and incompetent police. As his escapades unfold, we learn something of Allan's earlier life in which - remarkably - he helped to make the atom bomb, became friends with American presidents, Russian tyrants, and Chinese leaders, and was a participant behind the scenes in many key events of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Jonas+Jonasson\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJonas Jonasson\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jonas Jonasson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376927654051,"sku":"9780349141800","price":315.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780349141800_ef5f5e8e-9f88-4679-a413-e3eb91ab8d1e.jpg?v=1776471326","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780349141800","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
