Peter Schlemihl: Annotated Edition with an introduction by Leopold von Loewenstein-Wertheim (Alma Classics 101 Pages) - Softcover
Synopsis
Unsuccessful in his endeavours, the young and naive Peter Schlemihl seals a pact with the Devil in which he exchanges his shadow for the purse of Fortunatus, thereby gaining everlasting riches. But when he is ridiculed, persecuted and hated for being different from other men, he realizes that poverty is easier to bear than the loss of his peace of mind.
Originally written as a cautionary tale for the children of Chamisso’s patron, Peter Schlemihl was hailed by contemporaries as a masterpiece with a wide adult appeal, and continues to capture imaginations today.
Contains an introduction by Leopold von Loewenstein-Wertheim.
ABOUT THE SERIES: The 101 Pages series has been created with the aim of redefining and enriching the classics canon by promoting unjustly neglected works of enduring significance. These texts have been treated with a fresh editorial approach, and are presented in an elegantly designed format.
