The only novel completed by the master of the short-story form, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym relates the rollicking adventures of a boy from Nantucket as he stows away on a whaling ship and experiences the hardships and dangers of life at sea – including a mutiny, violent storms and near-starvation – before voyaging to the farthest regions of the southern hemisphere. The result is a yarn as thrilling as any of Poe’s horror stories.
Alongside Pym’s exploits, this collection includes many celebrated tales, such as ‘The Cask of Amontillado’, ‘The Gold Bug’ and ‘Hop-Frog’, as well as Poe’s second, unfinished novel, The Journal of Julius Rodman, all of which bear witness to the narrative genius of one of America’s greatest storytellers.
