The Scientific Adventures of Baron Münchausen by Hugo Gernsback with Afterword by Burlington, Ontario's Robert Godwin. This novel was first serialized from May 1915 until February 1917 in the author's pop technology magazine, The Electrical Experimenter. Without being dry the piece reads as a series of scientific lectures with sparse dialogue and narrative bridges. Gernback achieves a sort of trustworthy absurdism that leads the mind to a rational yet whimsical place in the spirit of Amazing Stories.
This edition was released in 2010 by Apogee Books Science Fiction with financial support from the Canadian Government.
