Adelbert Chamisso Books
Adelbert von Chamisso was a poet and scientific explorer whose life journey was shaped by revolution and military service. Displaced from his native France, he found a new home in Prussia, where alongside his army duties, he pursued self-study and literary endeavors. His most famous narrative, the tale of a man who sold his shadow, emerged as a diversion during a tumultuous period. Later, as a botanist, he embarked on a global expedition, collecting plant specimens and documenting discoveries that enriched both his scientific knowledge and his literary output.
"Peter Schlemihls wundersame Geschichte" erzählt von einem Mann, der seinen Schatten verkauft. Was zunächst vorteilhaft erscheint, wird zum Albtraum, als die Menschen ihn meiden. Die Frage bleibt, wer den Schatten gekauft hat.
