Although the book does not list a publication date, likely it was printed in 1913 or 1914. Both stories in this volume involve making a deal with the devil or demon. In the first one, a man decides to trade his shadow for a purse that is always filled with gold. He thinks he made a marvelous deal, until the ramifications of having no shadow become evident. Children jeer him, adults shun him, and the father of the woman he wishes to marry dismisses him. In trying to undo the deed, he soon learns that an even greater sacrifice is needed, one he is unwilling to make. In the second story, a man is granted three wishes, but he chooses poorly. He ends up with a heart of stone, a cold heart that can feel nothing. Things eventually work out better for him than for the shadowless man, but not before he experiences great heartache. These fairy tales are translations, and the language flow is different from modern books. Still, they are well written, and have a moral: be very careful what you wish for, because it may not be what you really wanted, and be aware of whom you make deals with, because they may not be what they seem to be. All in all, these two tales are quite entertaining, and stand up well to the test of time.… (mer)

> L'histoire de l'homme qui a perdu son ombre est aussi mystérieuse que La Métamorphose. Chamisso est proche de Kafka, mais aussi de Cazotte, par son style léger, ses moments d'humour, et, surtout, son aptitude à reconnaître le diable sous les déguisements les plus rassurants.
