A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Germany delighted in romance, was first published in 1814, and was especially naturalised in England by association with the genius of George Ouikshank, who enriched a translation of it with some of his happiest work as an illustrator. An account of the book and its author is here reprinted at the end of the tale, as originally given by the translator. To this account one or two notes may be abided. Louis Charles Adelaide de Chamisso de Boncourt was born on the 27th of January, 1781, at the Chateau of Boncourt, in Champagne, w Mch he made the subject of one of his most beautiful lyrics. He belonged to a family faithful to Louis XVI., that fled to Wiirzburg from the fury of the French Revolution. Thus he was taken to Germany a child of nine, and was left there when the family, with other emigrants, returned to France in 1801. At fifteen he had Teutonised his name to A delbert von Chamisso, and was appointed page to the Queen of Prussia.

Biographie de l'auteur

Adelbert von Chamisso (1781–1838) was a German poet and botanist. In the summer of the eventful year, 1813, he wrote the prose narrative Peter Schlemihl, the man who sold his shadow. This, the most famous of all his works, has been translated into most European languages (English by William Howitt). It was written partly to divert his own thoughts and partly to amuse the children of his friend Julius Eduard Hitzig.
