About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Wonderful History of Peter Schlemihl (Version 2) by Adelbert von Chamisso. (Translated by Frederic Henry Hedge.) Read in English by Christoph Stangenberg. 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
