Where do naggers and grumps come from? Fredrik Backman: "This is the story of a rather grumpy 59-year-old man, one of those who drives a 'Saab' and constantly complains about neighbors as soon as they throw trash in the wrong bin...
or drive into the village, even though the sign is clearly marked in Swedish that it is strictly prohibited". But grumpy old men are not born that way. A gentle, loving heart can become hardened from loneliness, and tidiness, punctiliousness, and handy skills can turn into a critical view of the new, frivolous generation. Inside, resentment towards the world brews, life becomes burdensome, and the hand reaches for the rope with a noose - but life is unpredictable. It breaks all plans, including these kinds. And just when it seems like the most inappropriate moment, all of Ove's talents come into play, and something begins!.. Fredrik Backman: "This is a funny book, one of those that helps pass the time at a bus stop or in an airport. But I hope I've also managed to tell something more - about Ove and about myself. Something about my father's generation - and something about mine. About the cars we drive, the women we fall in love with, the computers that drive us crazy, and the things we fear". A worldwide phenomenon: the book about the grumpy Ove first shattered sales records in Scandinavian countries, then won the hearts of readers across Europe, and now is rapidly conquering America - it has been in the top ten of the 'New York Times' bestsellers list for almost six months. The rights to publish it have been sold in 31 countries worldwide. The Swedish adaptation of the book has become one of the most successful films in the country in the last half-century, and a theatrical production in Stockholm is also very popular. This grumpy Ove restores a bit of faith in humanity for us.
