A very readable tale of a hundred year old man's life that parallels the major historical and political events of the 20th century. Understandably internationally acclaimed!

Not what I expected. My kind of humor, too, just simple and sweet and a bit tongue in cheek. Amusing to see how they wove in the "behind the scenes" stories from history, and the characters, even the ones who are only alive for a few pages, are all hilarious and wonderful and surprisingly memorable.
