«La meravellosa història de Peter Schlèmihl» is the fantastic tale by Adelbert von Chamisso, published by La Magrana in hardcover (91 pages, in Catalan).
Peter Schlèmihl sells his shadow to a stranger and receives a great fortune in return, but discovers that money does not give him back ordinary life: people avoid and point at him. The tale, with a fantastic atmosphere, follows Peter's attempt to recover what was lost.
The volume was published in 1983 and is part of the «Autors Clàssics» collection from L'Esparver.
It is suitable reading for those interested in classical literature and fantastic narratives.
Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann was a German Romantic author of fantasy and gothic horror, a jurist, composer, music critic and artist. His short story "The Sandman" is seen as a pioneering work of horror fiction, while his novella Mademoiselle de Scuderi is regarded as one of the earliest examples of crime fiction.
