The illustrated book »Peter Schlemihls wundersame Geschichte« (The marvelous tale of Peter Schlemihl) is a contemporary edition of a short novel written by Adelbert von Chamisso in 1813. The goal of the new edition is to transform the story to present days. This makeover shall help the present-day’s reader to relate to the 200 years old text.
The output of this graduate work is an illustrated book. On 128 pages and at format of 139 × 211mm there are 25 large-sized, two coloured illustrations which link the story to the present-day by transporting the scenes of the novel to scenes of today. Both illustration and typography of the book breach with expectations to put a new and different complexion on the novel. The new edition shall represent Chamisso’s novel without being traditional and historizing.
