Illustration from Peter Schlemihls Wundersame Geschichte, by Adelbert von Chamisso, 1814. The story tells of a man, Peter Schlemihl, who sells his shadow to the Devil in exchange for a bottomless wallet, but discovers that a man without a shadow is shunned by society. The woman he loves rejects him, and Schlemihl spends the remainder of his life wandering the world in scientific exploration.
