Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This enthralling narrative centers around a man named Peter Schlemihl who encounters a mysterious individual who offers him untold wealth in exchange for his shadow. Initially allured by the prospect of riches, Peter accepts the bargain, only to discover the devastating consequences of his decision. As he ventures into the world, he faces scorn and rejection due to his lack of a shadow, a symbol of his lost identity and connection to humanity.
