This work explores themes of identity, materialism, and consequence through the experiences of its main character, Pietari Schlemihl, who encounters a mysterious man leading to an unusual bargain that forever alters his fate. At the start of the story, Pietari arrives in a new town after a long journey at sea, with intentions of meeting a local gentleman named Tuomas John. As he engages with John in a social gathering, he notices a peculiar, quiet man dressed in gray who suddenly appears to possess extraordinary abilities, producing items from his tiny pockets that shock the onlookers. This mysterious figure later approaches Pietari and offers to buy his shadow, leading to a surreal transaction that leaves Pietari without his shadow and ignites a series of unfortunate events that will challenge his understanding of wealth, status, and personal worth. The beginning sets the stage for a fantastical journey filled with existential questions and whimsical elements, enticing the reader to delve deeper into the narrative.
