The only novel by Edgar Allan Poe, a classic of adventure literature that inspired authors such as Jules Verne, H. P. Lovecraft, and Herman Melville. Arthur Gordon Pym, a young man from the whaling island of Nantucket, hides in the hold of the Grampus to stow away with his friend Augustus. What was meant to be a bold escape turns into a trap: Pym is left locked away, with no news of anyone, while the ship drifts away from land and a mutiny breaks out on board. When he finally manages to emerge from his hiding place, the Grampus is in the hands of a brutal crew, and the ship becomes a stage for survival. Pym's journey continues through the southern seas to an unknown Antarctica, where the voyage becomes even stranger.
