Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49) reigned unrivaled in his mastery of mystery during his lifetime and is now widely held to be a central figure of Romanticism and gothic horror in American literature. Born in Boston, he was orphaned at age three, was expelled from West Point for gambling, and later became a well-regarded literary critic and editor. "The Raven," published in 1845, made Poe famous. He died in 1849 under what remain mysterious circumstances and is buried in Baltimore, Maryland.
Edgar Allan Poe’s The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket is the story of young Arthur Gordon Pym who, yearning for adventure, stows away on the whaler Grampus. Beset by troubles including mutiny, shipwreck, and cannibals, Pym is rescued by the crew of the Jane Guy and continues his adventures as the ship heads further south.
Eleven years later, Jules Verne’s An Antarctic Mystery picks up the trail of Pym and his fellow shipmates, taking readers to the very edge of the world, where the mystery of Arthur Gordon Pym’s fate is eventually revealed.
