A hardcover edition with partial varnish. Dense white paper. Clear, readable font. Full-color illustrations. The first translation of this book into Russian, made in 1791, was titled "If you don’t like it — don’t listen, but don’t interfere with lying."...
But if Baron Karl Friedrich Hieronymus von Munchausen had known about this, he would surely have challenged the translator to a duel. After all, everyone in the world knows that none of the Munchausen family ever lied and will never lie! And no matter how unbelievable Baron Munchausen's adventures may seem, the account of each of them is pure truth. Moreover, Munchausen himself is a historical figure, a brave warrior who fought in the Russian imperial army under the command of Field Marshal Münnich. Only such a hero could ride on a cannonball, visit the Moon, gallop into an enemy-occupied city on half a horse, and easily pull himself out of a swamp by his own hair! If you still don’t believe it, then read the most truthful memoirs of Baron Munchausen in the world and admire the wonderful illustrations by the outstanding illustrator, the people's artist of Russia Nikolai Ustinov — and you will have no doubt left!
