The story follows Peter Schlemihl, a young man who naively trades his shadow for wealth, gaining a magical purse that grants him endless riches. However, his newfound fortune comes with a heavy price, as he faces ridicule and ostracism for his unusual condition. Ultimately, Peter learns that the loss of his shadow brings greater suffering than the poverty he sought to escape, highlighting themes of identity, societal acceptance, and the true cost of material wealth.
