Encore peu connu du grand public, le journaliste Jonas Jonasson, né en suède en 1961, nous offre une aventure totalement loufoque et déjantée avec Le vieux qui ne voulait pas fêter son anniversaire. Le presque centaine, Allan Karlsson, décide, le jour de son anniversaire de fuir sa maison de retraite en n'emmenant avec lui que sa paire de charentaise préférée. Débute un voyage incroyable à travers la Suède au cours duquel notre héros fera la rencontre improbable de personnages excentriques et vivra des situations hors normes. En parallèle, l'auteur nous raconte l'histoire de ce vieillard en apparence banale mais au passé plus atypique qu'il n'y parait. En effet, cet artificier de génie a côtoyé les plus grands noms du 19ème siècle allant de Staline à Truman en passant par Mao. Ceci lui donne l'occasion de revenir sur un siècle d'histoire de façon totalement décalée. Savourez ce pur moment de bonheur, chaudement conseillé par l'ensemble de nos lecteurs. Nos rayons regorgent d'histoires singulières telles que le cocasse Les Yeux jaunes des crocodiles de Katherine Pancol, Demain j'arrête ! de Gilles Legardinier ou encore le nouveau John Irving : A moi seul bien des personnages.

Résumé
Obsessed by what they are certain is the impending apocalypse, a mismatched trio set off on a globetrotting road-trip in the latest feel-good adventure from the internationally bestselling author of The Hundred Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. In the fading days of late summer, 2011, self-taught astrophysicist Petra has calculated that the atmosphere will collapse in a few weeks' time-on September 21, at approximately 9:20 pm-ending the world as we know it.
But the distraught Petra will not have to carry the burden of this terrible news alone for long. Fate intervenes, bringing her into the orbit of a pair of unlikely companions: Johan, a man whose intellectual prowess is remarkably overshadowed by his culinary skills, and Agnes, a seventy-five-year-old widow who has made a fortune posing as a young influencer on social media. Convincing them of the impending doom, Petra, Johan, and Agnes embark on a wild adventure in a camper van that will take them from their homes in Sweden, through Europe, to their destination: Rome.
Johan plans to make the most of the time he has left. He has decided at last to stand up to his heinous big brother, promising to deliver a swift yet brutal blow in more ways than one. But, of course, nothing ever goes as planned. Not even the end of the world.
