Used book – A Man Called Ove (Narrative), Fredrik Backman, Albert Herranz Hammer

A story full of humor, sentiment and wisdom, which introduces us to the world of a lovable and unforgettable protagonist «Do I have to go around smiling like an idiot all day?» Ove is not the typical neighbor you like to meet in the neighborhood. He is a grumbler, a bore who insists to the point of exaggeration on maintaining order and discipline. He is almost sixty years old and is a resentful recluse from whom fate has snatched too much.

However, something in Ove's life is about to change. A series of fortuitous circumstances gradually restore his faith in the human race. And at the same time, the people around him begin to understand that the neighborhood would not be the same without the cunning Ove. It would be a colder, less supportive place, and, believe it or not, much less fun... because, in the end, everyone loves Ove.
