Pietari Schlemihl'in eriskummalliset elämänvaiheet by Adelbert von Chamisso
"Pietari Schlemihl'in eriskummalliset elämänvaiheet" by Adelbert von Chamisso is a novella written in 1814. A man sells his shadow to the Devil for a bottomless wallet, only to discover that society shuns those without shadows. Rejected by his beloved and consumed by guilt, he must choose between reclaiming his shadow by surrendering his soul or finding another path. His journey leads him through despair, scientific exploration with seven-league boots, and ultimately toward
an unexpected reconciliation with himself and the natural world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
