<br/><br/> "The Marvellous History of the Shadowless Man, and The Cold Heart" by Adelbert von Chamisso is a novella written in 1814. Peter Schlemihl trades his shadow to the Devil for a bottomless wallet, only to discover that society shuns a man without a shadow. When the Devil offers to return his shadow in exchange for his soul, Schlemihl refuses and seeks refuge in nature instead. Traveling the world with seven-league boots, he must find meaning beyond wealth and social acceptance in this cautionary tale. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
