[1/11] Chapter 1
In Peter Schlemihl, the luckless hero enters into a deal with a mysterious stranger, only to learn, that he dealt with the proverbial. He soon discovers that wealth can't buy respectability. It’s a tale as darkly funny as it is sharp, reminding us that some things in life (like dignity and not creeping people out) are priceless. - Summary by Antipode
