The second life is uve. Bakman F.

Where do boods and squabblers come from?

Fredrick Bakman: “Is this a story of a rather squabble 59-year-old man of those who ride on Saab and always cling to the neighbors, it is worth throwing the garbage in the wrong place A container or to enter the village by car, although on the Swedish plate it is written in white that it is strictly forbidden. ”

But with absurd old people are not born. It’s just a gentle, loving heart from loneliness is covered with a hard crust, and accuracy, thoroughness and hand -to -handedness turn into a meticulousness to a new, frivolous generation. Inside, resentment of the world ripens, life becomes a burden, the hand reaches for a rope with a loop - but life is unpredictable. She breaks all plans, including this kind. And at the most inappropriate, seemingly inappropriate moment, all the talents of Uve were in demand, and this began!..

Fredrick Bakman: “This is a funny book, of those that help to pass the time at the bus stop or at the airport. But I hope that I managed to tell in it something else-both about Uwe and to myself. Something about the generation of my dad-and something about mine. About the cars we drive, about the women we fall in love, about the computers that we are running out, and about the things that we are afraid of. ” Sales in the Scandinavian countries, then won the hearts of European readers, and now rapidly conquers America-for almost six months it has not been leaving the first ten bestsellers of New York Times. The rights to its publication were sold to 31 countries of the world. The Swedish film adaptation of the book has become one of the most successful films in the country over the past half a century, the theatrical production in Stockholm is very popular.

This gloomy Uwe returns us a little faith to humanity.
