Note: The first publication was edited by Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué; the idea for this novella grew on Chamisso on a walk during a conversation with him.
The novella was written on a demesne not far from Berlin from August to the end of September in 1913; it was also published in the several editions of Chamisso's collected works.
Synopsis: Peter Schlemihl sells his shadow for a bagful of gold which's supply is never to end.
Soon, he has to discover that he is shunned by other people. Now he desperately tries to win his shadow back from the devil.
