An outline of the story of The Adventures of the Boastmaster

The Adventures of a Boatmaster describes a baron named Minxi Howard Johnson, who claims 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. He is eloquent. He is eloquent. The fairy tale describes the "adventure" he told.

A noble baron. The more "honest" Baron Xie Yunyi Howard Johnson claims that all his experiences are authentic, the more ridiculous readers feel. Through exaggerated stories, the author depicts the hero, Baron Howard Johnson in western Fujian, a careless and serious braggart.

Let readers feel that this person is a person who often meets in people's lives, tells impossible stories and wins the audience a smile. It is no stranger. Therefore, the image of Baron Xie Yunyi is recognized by readers.

Haosheng in western Fujian is obviously a fictional character. He, like the two generations of Uighurs, Balagencang of Mongolians and Liezhangsan of Miao people, is an artistic model born on the soil of folk literature.

Baron Xie Yunyi Howard Johnson is a spiritual genius, a great genius and a charlatan. The works give full play to the imaginative advantages of folk literature, integrating imagination into absurd narration, exaggeration into imaginative logic and humor into the combination of strangeness and reality. The comprehensive function of all kinds of artistic imagination makes the protagonist get favorable accidental conditions quickly, get rid of adversity calmly and win.

Min Xihaosen keeps calm, calm and responsive on any occasion. Bragging and lying in The Adventures of the Boatmaster is a relaxed art .. It brings the audience or the speaker into a cowhide atmosphere, where people's desires float and hope to surpass all time and space.

The baron's adventures include hunting, fighting, sea travel, traveling around the world and so on. These absurd stories satirize the bad atmosphere of arrogance and empty talk in the upper class of Germany in the eighteenth century, which is not only loved by children and fairy tale writers, but also by the vast number of German people. But judging from the attitude of "entertaining", it has no "weight" and its "educational significance" has become secondary.

But it is really the product of living life and wit. Compared with superstition and legend (in Caldwell, see illusion and reality), it is "limited to the realization of wishes", "a little childish and servile", "stained with the characteristics of the exploited class" and "full of luck, gold and silver, magical meals and lucky sons"-all the blessings that this class obviously lacks.

It is spontaneous and conscious at the same time. It is rich in imagination, novel and even bizarre. It is "liberated" in thought and mentality.
