Description
Peter Schlemihl The Shadowless Man is a classic German novella written by Adelbert von Chamisso. The story follows the eponymous protagonist, Peter Schlemihl, who sells his shadow to the devil in exchange for a bottomless purse. As a result, he becomes an outcast and is unable to return to society. The novella explores themes of identity, alienation, and the consequences of making a deal with the devil. It is also notable for its use of symbolism, particularly the shadow as a representation of the soul. Peter Schlemihl The Shadowless Man has been widely translated and has influenced numerous works of literature, including Edgar Allan Poe's ""The Man of the Crowd"" and Nathaniel Hawthorne's ""The Birthmark.""I had long secretly felt uneasy--indeed, almost horrified; but how was this feeling increased when, at the next wish expressed, I saw him take from his pocket three horses! Yes, Adelbert, three large beautiful steeds, with saddles and bridles, out of the very pocket whence had already issued a letter-case, a telescope, a carpet twenty feet broad and ten in length, and a pavilion of the same extent, with all its appurtenances!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
