"Peter Schlemihls wundersame Geschichte" by Adelbert von Chamisso is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around Peter Schlemihl, a man who sells his shadow to a mysterious stranger in exchange for a magical bag of gold. This transaction leads to unforeseen consequences that challenge the value of wealth and identity in a world that values appearances. The opening of the novel introduces Peter Schlemihl after a tough sea voyage as he arrives in a new land. He enters a modest inn and is immediately preoccupied with finding a wealthy benefactor, Mr. Thomas John, whose opulence and the society around him captivate Peter. In a social gathering, a strange gray man catches his attention, performing remarkable feats by conjuring objects out of an impossibly small bag. Fascinated yet troubled, Peter grapples with feelings of being an outsider as he witnesses the peculiar nature of this man. This strange encounter sets the stage for the pivotal and surreal bargain that will alter Peter's life forever. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 75.1 (7th grade).
