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. As Jeffrey Meyers writes in his Introduction- "" Poe

remains contemporary because he appeals to basic human feelings and expresses universal themes common to all men in all languages- dreams, love, loss; grief, mourning, alienation; terror, revenge, murder; insanity, disease, and death."" Within the pages of this novel, we encounter nearly all of them.

This Modern Library Paperback Classic reprints the text of the original 1838 American edition.
