La nueva y divertidÃsima aventura del autor del best-seller internacional El abuelo que saltó por la ventana y se largó Estocolmo, finales de agosto de 2011. Petra, una joven astrofÃsica, ha calculado que la atmósfera colapsará en doce dÃas, concretamente el 7 de septiembre, y el mundo que conocemos llegará a su fin. Más o menos al mismo tiempo, Johan acaba de perder su trabajo como cartero y, para colmo de males, se enfrenta con tristeza al abandono de su hermano Fredrik, que acaba de iniciar una brillante carrera diplomática en Italia. El encuentro entre Petra y Johan será el comienzo de una aventura tan delirante como divertida: partiendo hacia Roma en busca de Fredrik, se topan con Agnes, una viuda de setenta y cinco años que ha hecho fortuna camuflada como joven influencer en las redes sociales. Convencido de la inminente fatalidad anunciada por Petra, este extraño e improvisado trÃo se embarcará en una autocaravana azul celeste con la esperanza de hacer del planeta un lugar más justo... en menos de dos semanas. AsÃ, entre cócteles con Barack Obama, extrañas colaboraciones con dictadores africanos y conflictos diplomáticos de todo tipo, mientras la mayor amenaza de la historia se cierne sobre la Tierra, los tres amigos acabarán trastornando por completo no sólo sus vidas, sino la de cualquiera que se cruce con ellos. Combinando realidad y ficción en una fabulosa sátira, La pitonisa y el idiota es una historia que nos hace reÃr y emociona. Con ella, Jonas Jonasson regresa a la veta más cáustica de El abuelo que saltó por la ventana y se largó y nos seduce con una narración original que combina el sentido lúdico de la aventura y una mirada dulce y ácida al mundo actual. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Obsessed by what they are certain is the impending apocalypse, a mismatched trio set off on a globetrotting road-trip in the latest feel-good adventure from the internationally bestselling author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.
In the fading days of late summer, 2011, self-taught astrophysicist Petra has calculated that the atmosphere will collapse in a few weeks' time--on September 21, at approximately 9:20 pm--ending the world as we know it. But the distraught Petra will not have to carry the burden of this terrible news alone for long. Fate intervenes, bringing her into the orbit of a pair of unlikely companions: Johan, a man whose intellectual prowess is remarkably overshadowed by his culinary skills, and Agnes, a seventy-five-year-old widow who has made a fortune posing as a young influencer on social media. Convincing them of the impending doom, Petra, Johan, and Agnes embark on a wild adventure in a camper van that will take them from their homes in Sweden, through Europe, to their destination: Rome. Johan plans to make the most of the time he has left. He has decided at last to stand up to his heinous big brother, promising to deliver a swift yet brutal blow in more ways than one. But, of course, nothing ever goes as planned. Not even the end of the world. . . . In this, his sixth novel, Jonas Jonasson takes us on a dazzling odyssey across the globe-from Sweden, through Europe, across Africa, and all the way to the US. The Prophet and the Idiot is an immensely funny, socially conscious, and life-affirming yarn about what happens when three odd yet fully reasonable characters come together and find cause to make mutual plans, all relayed in Jonasson's classically hilarious style.
