Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen by Rudolf Erich Raspe A certain eighteenth-century German noble ventured abroad for military service and returned with a series of amusingly outrageous stories. Baron Munchausen's astounding feats included riding cannonballs, traveling to the Moon, and pulling himself out of a bog by his own hair. Listeners delighted in hearing about these unlikely adventures, and in 1785, the stories were collected and published as Baron Munchausen's Narrative of his Marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Russia. By the nineteenth century, the tales had undergone expansions and transformations by several notable authors and had been translated into many languages. A figure as colorful as the Baron naturally appeals to the artistic imagination, and he has been depicted in numerous works of art. His definitive visual image, however, belongs to Gustave Dor�. Famed for his engravings of scenes from the Bible, the Divine Comedy, Don Quixote, and other literary classics, Dor� created theatrical illustrations of the Baron's escapades that perfectly re-create the stories' picaresque humor.

Book excerpt: 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.Unique In this book contain all about author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baron Münchausen relates a history of his adventures. He once set out on horseback on a journey to Russia in midwinter. He ties his horse to a stump projecting from the snow and goes to sleep. When he awakens he finds that the abundant snow has melted and that his horse is dangling from the weather vane of a church steeple. He is subsequently pursued by a wolf that begins to devour his horse as it flees; when he attacks it with his whip, it eats the entire horse and ends up in harness itself.While waiting to receive a commission in the Russian army, the baron hurries from his bedroom to shoot at a flock of ducks, but he strikes his head on the doorpost, which causes sparks to fly from his eyes. This experience proves useful when he finds that he has lost the flint from his flintlock; he has only to raise the musket to his face and punch himself in the eye to bag sixteen birds. He is not so lucky with a stag that he tries to bring down by spitting a cherry stone at it, but he later encounters a fine specimen with a cherry tree growing between its antlers.His aim is just as true when he throws two flints at a pursuing bear; they strike fire in the creature's stomach and blow it up. He has no such armaments when he encounters a wolf, so he thrusts his arm into the beast's mouth, lays hold of its entrails, and turns it inside out. He dares not do the same to a rabid dog and throws his cloak over it instead; unfortunately, the cloak picks up the infection and passes it on to other suits in his wardrobe.

"Raspe is poor, and I shall try and get subscriptions to enable him to print his work, which is sensible, clear, and unpretending." Three months later it was, "Poor Raspe is arrested by his /tailor/. I have sent him a little money, and he hopes to recover his liberty, but I question whether he will be able to struggle on here." His "Essay on the Origin of Oil Painting" was actually published through Walpole's good service in April 1781. He seems to have had plans of going to America and of excavating antiquities in Egypt, where he might have done good service, but the bad name that he had earned dogged him to London. The Royal Society struck him off its rolls, and in revenge he is said to have threatened to publish a travesty of their transactions. He was doubtless often hard put to it for a living, but the variety of his attainments served him in good stead. He possessed or gained some reputation as a mining expert, ...
