THE NARRATIVE OF ARTHUR GORDON PYM OF NANTUCKET...

Poe found the germ of the story he would develop into ARTHUR GORDON PYM in 1836 in a newspaper
account of the shipwreck and subsequent rescue of the two men on board. Published in 1838  this
rousing sea adventure follows New England boy  Pym  who stows away on a whaling ship with its
captain's son  Augustus. The two boys repeatedly find themselves on the brink of death or
discovery and witness many terrifying events  including mutiny  cannibalism  and frantic
pursuits. Poe imbued this deliberately popular tale with such allegorical richness  biblical
imagery  and psychological insights that the tale has come to influence writers as various as
Melville  James  Verne and Nabokov.
