From travelling to the moon to fighting a 40-foot-long crocodile and riding a cannonball through the air, Baron von Munchausen’s incredible account of his own adventures has entertained readers since its initial appearance in 1785. The obvious comedy of the book, which lies in Munchausen’s boasts about his own adventures, is heightened by the calm and objective way in which he frames his narrative. The Baron appears to fully believe the death-defying episodes with which he regales his listeners.

"The Baron Munchausen's Narrative of his Marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Russia", or the "Startling adventures of Baron Munchausen", is one of the funniest texts ever written. It relates the exploits of a grandiloquent figure, in a series of absurd, impossible and extravagant feats. It is a charming tale of dreamlike adventures, a powerful satire and a personal attack, as it was meant to mock a real Baron known for telling outrageous tall tales based on his military career during the Russo-Turkish war. The adventures of the Baron will have you roar with laughter and unleash your imagination as you witness his cannonball ride or travels to the moon.

Il "Barone di Munchausen" è un instancabile avventuriero, che al ritorno dai suoi viaggi, si diverte a spararle grosse, raccontando le sue improbabili imprese. Tra inseguimenti surreali, mirabolanti allunaggi e avventure esotiche, ci porta dentro le situazioni più inverosimili... Durante uno dei suoi viaggi incontra niente meno che "Don Chisciotte", e ne esce un indimenticabile scontro tra pari! Le storie di Munchausen, di origine popolare, furono raccolte da un autore anonimo nel 1781. Nel 1785 a Londra ne venne pubblicata una versione in inglese, ad opera di Rudolf Erich Raspe.
