The first translation of this book into Russian, made in 1791, was called "If you don't like it, don't listen, but don't stop me from lying." But if Baron Karl Friedrich Hieronymus von Munchausen had found out about this, he would have certainly challenged the translator to a duel. After all, everyone in the world knows that none of the Munchausen brothers ever lied and never will! And no matter how incredible the Baron's adventures may seem, the story about each of them is the purest truth. Moreover, Munchausen himself is a historical figure, a brave warrior who fought in the Russian Imperial Army under the command of Field Marshal Minich. Only such a hero could ride a cannonball, visit the Moon, gallop into a city captured by enemies on half a horse, and easily pull himself out of a swamp by his hair! What, you still don't believe it? Then read the most truthful memoirs in the world of Baron Munchausen and look at the delightful illustrations of the outstanding illustrator Nikolai Ustinov - and you will not have a shadow of doubt!
