- Summary:
- After reading an 1836 newspaper account of a shipwreck and its two survivors, Edgar Allan Poe penned his only novel, "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket," the story of a stowaway on a Nantucket whaleship who finds himself enmeshed in the dark side of life at sea: mutiny, cannibalism, savagery--even death. Because Pym encounters dangerous mysterious sea creatures and strange exotic animals, the novel has the characteristics of science fiction stories as well as adventure and horror tales.
