"The Marvellous History of the Shadowless Man, and The Cold Heart" by Adelbert von Chamisso is a novella written in 1814. Peter Schlemihl trades his shadow to the Devil for a bottomless wallet, only to discover that society shuns a man without a shadow.

must find meaning beyond wealth and social acceptance in this cautionary tale. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
