The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

It is not definitely known who first issued these stories in book form, but it was probably the work of one Rudolph Erich Raspe, a schol arly and versatile author, but a great rogue, who had taken refuge in England from the arm of German law. He swindled Sir John Sinclair as a mining expert, and this exploit suggested his Dousterswivel to Sir Walter Scott. Eventually he died of fever in Donegal.
