La mirinda historio de Petro Schlemihl

A wandering tale follows a curious man who wakes up one morning to discover that his shadow has vanished. As he journeys through bustling cities and remote villages, he meets strangers whose lives echo his own loss, each confronting the strange freedom and isolation that come with an absent shade. The narrative blends whimsical encounters with thoughtful reflections on identity, belonging, and the invisible bonds that tie people together.

Beyond the adventure, the story offers a glimpse into the life of its 19th‑century creator—a multilingual scholar, poet, and naturalist whose own restless spirit fuels the protagonist’s wanderings. Richly layered with subtle humor and gentle melancholy, the work invites listeners to ponder how much of ourselves we carry outward, and what remains when even the faintest silhouette fades away.
