THE BARON VON MÜNCHHAUSEN COLLECTION - Contributed by Jens Terje

Baron Münchhausen (born May 11, 1720, Bodenwerder, Hanover [Germany]—died February 22, 1797, Bodenwerder) was a Hanoverian storyteller, some of whose tales were the basis for the collection The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

Münchhausen served with the Russian army against the Turks and retired to his estates as a country gentleman in 1760. He became famous throughout Hanover as a raconteur of extraordinary tales about his life as a soldier, hunter, and sportsman. A collection of such tales appeared in Vademecum für lustige Leute (1781–83; “Manual for Merry People”), all of them attributed to the baron, though several can be traced to much earlier sources.

Münchhausen, however, was launched as a “type” of tall-story teller by Rudolf Erich Raspe, who used the earlier stories as basic material for a small volume published (anonymously) in London in 1785 under the title Baron Munchausen’s Narrative of His Marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Russia. Gottfried August Bürger freely translated Raspe’s volume back into German in 1786, and it was Bürger’s edition that became the most widely known in German. Later and much enlarged editions, none of them having much to do with the historical Baron Münchhausen, became widely known and popular in many languages. They are generally known in English as The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

  2. A wonderful compilation of an unusual and tremendously funny, satirical and borderless character.

    I am a big fan of Terry Gilliam's 'Adventures of Baron Munchausen' film, which was made without the aid of computer graphics: Creativity overflows in each of its scenes and surprises with its visual elegance, leaving the viewer with the notion that Kubrik was not the only cinematographic genius. I didn't know that the film had its comix version: It is a very pleasant surprise for the collector.

    Many thanks, Jens Terje, for this great contribution to OFC.

    I'll put Drako in it 🐲.
