Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative centers on Baron Munchausen, a fictional character inspired by the real-life Hieronymus Karl Friedrich von Münchhausen, who became famous for his exaggerated tales following his military service. After retiring, the baron captivated aristocratic circles with his stories, which Raspe later adapted into a literary format. Initially published in Oxford, the work gained popularity across Europe, leading to translations and expansions. The real baron disapproved of the fictional portrayal, even threatening legal action, while Raspe's authorship remained unrecognized during his lifetime.
