Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
What kind of helplessness and desperation forced a middle-aged man to rob a cashless bank with a toy gun on the morning before the New Year? The failed robber fled to a for-sale apartment on the top floor of the building, which was full of potential buyers looking at the house. From then on, the robbery turned into a hostage-taking case.
However, the development of the incident was unexpected. There was no confrontation between the police and the robbers, no fatal blows, and after a long day, the eight hostages were released safely, but the robbers were completely gone. The police interrogated the hostages one by one, but found that each of them had a lot of complaints and questions, but no one could explain clearly and they didn't care where the robbers had gone.
About the Author
[Sweden] Frederik Bachmann
Born in Helsingborg, Sweden in 1981, he started out as a blogger and columnist. After his debut novel A Man Called Ove set a good sales record worldwide, his second novel Grandma's Apology Letter set off another reading craze, with the Chinese version having sold 1 million copies. Together with The List Life, these two works form a "heartwarming trilogy" that has gained popularity among Chinese readers. The novella The Gift of Time, based on real life experiences, explores the relationship between time and love. Backman's writing style is light-hearted and humorous. He is very good at shaping characters and depicting details, and has his own way of making people cry.
"Anxious Man" constructs an ingenious story with Backman's keen observation of society and thorough understanding of human nature. Love, understanding, forgiveness and hope are things that can save us even in very anxious times.
He currently lives in Stockholm, Sweden with his wife and two children.
