Ask for the name of a foreign popular science literature book

The adventures of a braggart. Originally a German folktale, it was later recreated by two German writers, Ai Lasber and Ge Bigger. This is a work between fairy tales and fantasy stories. It is based on the story told by German Baron Minghausen in18th century.

Baron Michausen is a real person. He was a manor owner in Hanover, Germany, in the18th century, and was born in a noble family. He was also a soldier. He served in Russia, fought side by side with the Turks and loved hunting. Min Haosen is good at talking, humorous by nature, generous and won the respect of his friends. He had no children, and his wife was a woman with considerable wealth, so she died before him. Later, he married a young girl of 18. The second marriage was very unfortunate 1787 On February 22nd, he suffered a lot emotionally and finally went to sleep.

Shortly after Minghausen returned to Germany from the army, he was recognized as an outstanding storyteller. He made up many strange adventure stories to tell people. For example, how Baron Michausen's horse was hung on the roof, how he hunted with lard, small iron bars and long needles for sewing shoes, how he flew by shells, how he traveled to the moon, how he was swallowed by a big fish and escaped, how he met a three-legged man on the island of dried cheese, and how he struggled with a big bear for three days and three nights ... These bizarre stories reflect the time. Min Haosheng has also become synonymous with bragging and lying, exaggerating things infinitely, so it is unreliable. The rich imagination of this work is worth learning.
