It is not surprising that the thoughts of the experienced traveler instantly turn into aphorisms.History of creation
The author of the first stories about the adventures of Baron Münhhausen is the Baron Munchhausen himself. Few people know that the nobleman existed in reality. Karl Friedrich was born in the family of Colonel Otto von Münhgausen. At the age of 15, the young man went to military service, and after retirement, he spent evenings behind the stories of non-pieces:
"Usually he began to tell after dinner, having littered a huge foam tube with a short mouthpiece and putting a smoking glass of Punch."The man collected in his own house of neighbors and friends, sat down in front of the flaming fireplace and played the scenes from the adventures experienced. Sometimes the Baron added small details to believable stories to interest the listeners.
Later, a couple of such non-libeles were anonymously published in the "Der Sonderling" collections ("Durak") and "Vademecum Fur Lustige Leute" ("Guide to Merry People"). Stories are signed by the initials of Munchhausen, but the man did not confirm his own authorship. Glory among the locals grew. Now the hotel "King of Prussia" became a favorite place for conversations with listeners. It was there that the bikes of Merry Baron heard the writer Rudolph Erich.
In 1786, the light saw the book "The narration of Baron Münhhausen about his wonderful travels and campaigns to Russia." To add sharpness, it put in the original Baron's initial stories more faults. The work went out in English.
In the same year, Gottfried Burger - a German translator - published his version of the feats of Baron, adding more satire to the translated story. The main idea of the book has changed dramatically. Now the adventures of Munchhausen ceased to be simply non-disy, and they acquired a bright satirical and political tint.
Although the Creation of the Board "Amazing Traveling of the Baron von Münhghausen on the water and on land, hiking and fun adventures, as he usually told about them for a bottle of wine in a circle of his friends" came out anonymously, the real Baron guessed, who glorified his name:
"University Professor Burger disgraced me to the whole of Europe."Biography
