Join the legendary Baron Munchausen on his impossible journeys through realms where logic bows to imagination, and truth becomes wonderfully elastic. In these timeless tales of audacious adventure, the Baron recounts his extraordinary exploits with infectious enthusiasm—from riding cannonballs across battlefields to traveling to the moon, from escaping the belly of a whale to pulling himself from a swamp by his own hair. Originally penned as satirical gems that skewer both tall tales and human vanity, these stories enchant readers with their gleeful absurdity and unexpected wisdom. The Baron's outrageous claims and impossible feats serve as both entertainment and gentle mockery of boastfulness, creating narratives that are simultaneously ridiculous and oddly endearing. Notably accompanied by Gustave Doré's illustrations, each adventure springs to vivid life through the master engraver's fantastical imagery. Doré's artistry perfectly captures the spirit of Munchausen's world—a place where the impossible becomes inevitable, and where the Baron's larger-than-life personality fills every frame with theatrical grandeur. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Illustrations by Gustave Doré. Published by De Luxe Editions Club, Garden City, New York Hardcover. Approx. 5.5x8in. 206pp, Top and bottom of spine is sadly munged (see photos). Book is otherwise in fair vintage condition.
