Is there a way to obtain this ?
You can do this.
Import books using the filename to populate the author, title and series.
Then select the books in Calibre and start Bulk Edit. In the edit books dialog you can use "change cover", "set from e-book files".
This doesn't solve blurb, but is bettern than nothing.

For the blurb, you can download it from the Internet.
Set the download options so you do not overwrite Author, Title and Series, select books, hit Ctrl+D and select "download only metadata"
