Description

Join us on a captivating journey into the life of Peter Schlemihl, an ordinary man who makes a fateful deal with the devil trading his shadow for a bottomless purse. Initially, this seems like a dream come true, but Peter soon discovers that being without a shadow makes him an outcast in society, and no amount of wealth can mend that rift. Though the story of Peter Schlemihl remains a classic, the original text has faded from popular reading. This accessible translation by F.H. Hedge offers a fresh introduction for modern listeners seeking to explore this timeless tale. - Summary by Carolin
