Synopsis
Baron Hieronymus Karl Friedrich, Freiherr von Münchhausen, was an actual baron living in 18th-century Hanover famous for entertaining his guests with outrageously-embellished tales of his wartime exploits―so much so that his nickname in German is Lügenbaron, or "Baron of Lies." When Rudolph Eric Raspe, a writer and scientist living in England, heard of the Baron's tales, he wrote his own versions centered around a fictional Baron Munchausen. While the real Baron wasn't amused to have his name attached to a silly character famous for his bald-faced lies, Raspe's tales became hugely popular, reprinted for hundreds of years and illustrated just as many times. These very short tales were originally intended as contemporary satire, but their outrageous silliness is still entertaining today.

Vendeur : Wegmann1855, Zwiesel, Allemagne
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -'The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen' is a satirical work that chronicles the fantastical exploits of its titular character, Baron Munchausen. The narrative is a collection of exaggerated tales that blend humor with elements of the absurd, showcasing the Baron's adventures across various lands. The story begins with the Baron's early travels, where he encounters extraordinary phenomena, such as trees uprooted by a storm and a lion that inadvertently saves him from a crocodile. As the tales progress, the Baron embarks on a journey to Russia, where he faces a series of improbable events, including a wolf that replaces his horse in a sledge and a fox that he flogs out of its skin. The narrative is characterized by its whimsical tone and the Baron's remarkable ability to navigate and survive these outlandish situations. The work is a parody of travel literature and a critique of the era's tendency to embellish and fabricate stories for entertainment. The Baron's adventures are not only a testament to his ingenuity and quick thinking but also serve as a commentary on the nature of storytelling and the fine line between truth and fiction.
