The Fantastical Adventures of Leutenlieb of the House of Munchausen: Great-Great-Great-Grandson of the Celebrated Baron Hieronymus of the House of Munchausen
Brilliantly Imaginative, Smart, and Extremely Funny!
In this picaresque and highly entertaining novel, Leutenlieb, a.k.a. Baron Munchausen (great-great-great-grandson of his celebrated ancestor), takes us on a roller-coaster ride through major events of the Twentieth Century, introducing us along the way to a galaxy of iconic figures – from Hitler to Hemingway, from Al Capone to Greta Garbo – while describing how, with breath-taking imagination, brilliant ingenuity and technological expertise of staggering proportions (not to mention legendary modesty!) he succeeds in solving all the problems with which he is faced.
The darker side is there too – two world wars, Nazi extermination camps and Soviet labor camps – but through it all our protagonist maintains his optimism, his integrity, his belief in the power of the indomitable human spirit, and his extraordinary sense of humor. The full tragi-comedy of life is there.
Shlomo Kalo, a nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature and a storyteller of international renown brings us a standalone modern day continuation to the classical adventures of Baron Munchausen, a unique journey of imaginative adventures, surprising insights and ingenious humor that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages.
“The Fantastical Adventures of Leutenlieb is the story of the descendant of the famous Baron munchausen and his adventures in some well known places and events in the 20th century,from the trenches of WW1 ,west and eastern fronts to the chaos after the war,the american wild west and many more.What stands out as you read the book,is the unique wizdem the warm compassion and the respect to values that seems to disappear slowly from our world,and there is also a touch of true honor and chivalry that went unpopular lately for some reasone.
I think this book can be truly educational for children,and a good read for adults.” – Amazon Five Star Review
