When A Man Called Ove was published in 2012, no one could imagine that it 10 years later would be described as an international phenomenon. But the story about annoying neighbours and the importance of driving a Saab was a success in every place from Germany to South Korea, occupied the New York Times bestseller list for more than a year and has now sold more than 8 million copies world wide. The Swedish movie adaptation was nominated for an Oscar and the American version featuring Tom Hanks premiered in December 2022.

In this special edition, you get to enjoy the novel once again, but for the very first time, the author writes personally about how it all started and the origins of the book. In this rich extra material, the affected world hands their perspective of Ove’s journey from an anonymous Swedish neighborhood over to Hollywood.
