Description

Unique collection of short stories

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.

Contents: The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, Loss of Breath, Mystification, How to write a Blackwood Article, A Predicament, The Balloon Hoax, The Cask of Amontillado, The Gold Bug, Hop-Frog, The Journal of Julius Rodman
About Edgar Allan Poe
Born in Boston, Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49) was brought up by the Allan merchant family after the death of his mother and being abandoned by his father. While studying at the University of Virginia he started self-publishing volumes of poetry, and after a stint in the military began writing essays and fiction for a living. He died of unknown causes – with rabies, cholera, alcoholism and tuberculosis among the hypotheses – in Baltimore.
