The main content of The Adventures of the Boastmaster

The Adventures of Master in boas tells the story of the travel of Baron Howard Johnson in western Fujian. The main contents are as follows:

A baron named Minxi Howard Johnson claimed to be the most honest man in the world. He is famous for his wit and talkativeness. He served in the Russian army and participated in the Russian-Turkish war from 1735 to 1739.

After returning to Germany, I started from my own experience and created a strange adventure story with exaggeration and fantasy. For example, he can shoot wild ducks with his eyes, hunt back seven grouse with an iron needle, fly on shells, dance in the belly of whales, travel to the moon by boat and so on.

He is eloquent. He is eloquent. The fairy tale describes the "adventure" he told. His story is fantastic, humorous, exaggerated plot and rich imagination, which is unbelievable but I can't put it down.

Creative background:

Howard in Minxi is a real person. He lived from 1720 to 1797. He was a manor owner in Hanover in the18th century. He came from a noble family and was a baron. This person did take part in two wars between Russia and Turkey, liked hunting, was humorous by nature, and was good at telling stories. He is not a braggart. "The Story of a Boastmaster" was collected by Professor Raspe and attached to Minxi Howard.

Raspe is knowledgeable, intelligent and lively. In 1788, he was awarded the honorary title of "excellent linguist with high honor" in Great Britain for introducing German romantic poetry to the British. At the end of 1786 or the beginning of 1787, he published the Adventures of Captain boas in England anonymously, and later reprinted it seven times in Britain.

During this period, Raspe constantly added and expanded new stories. Later, Bilger, a German narrative poet, translated it into German, supplemented and polished it, making The Story of a Good Life in West Fujian an elegant, exquisite, graceful, cheerful, clear, concise, humorous and relatively large-scale text.
