The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym and Other Tales: Annotated Edition

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.

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.
