Wishful Wednesday 50

Udah Rabu lagi ya? Gak berasa gara-gara kemarin libur, dan ooppss.. ternyata WW gue udah masuk yang ke 50. Semoga gue bisa tetap rajin ikutan WW ini deh… kapan lagi gue bisa masukin berbagai buku yang gue pengen, ini kan salah satu wahana kode-mengkode.

Buku yang satu ini pertama gue liat di blog-nya Annisa. Cover-nya lucu kan (teteppp.. unsur cover sangat berperan untuk masuk ke WW). Ini gara-gara baca The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, gue jadi tertarik dengan cerita yang tokohnya adalah orang berusia lanjut. Yang ternyata, kalau browsing di goodreads, banyak juga ya….

Tapi, hari ini, gue berbagi yang ini dulu deh:

It all starts on the one-hundredth birthday of Allan Karlsson. Sitting 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. And 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. Already a huge bestseller across Europe, The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared is a fun and feel-good book for all ages.
