The work relates the tale of the young Arthur Gordon Pym, who stows away aboard a whaling ship called the Grampus. Various adventures and misadventures befall Pym, including shipwreck, mutiny, and cannibalism, before he is saved by the crew of the Jane Guy. Aboard this vessel, Pym and a sailor named Dirk Peters continue their adventures further south. Docking on land, they encounter hostile black-skinned natives before escaping back to the ocean. The novel ends abruptly as Pym and Peters continue toward the South Pole. The story starts out as a fairly conventional adventure at sea, but it becomes increasingly strange and hard to classify. Poe, who intended to present a realistic story, was inspired by several real-life accounts of sea voyages, and drew heavily from Jeremiah N. Reynolds and referenced the Hollow Earth theory. He also drew from his own experiences at sea. Analyses of the novel often focus on the potential autobiographical elements as well as hints of racism and the symbolism in the final lines of the work.

Sobre o autor(a)

Allan Poe, Edgar

EDGAR ALLAN POE nasceu em Boston, nos Estados Unidos, em 1809. Abandonado pelo pai, perdeu a mãe dois anos depois, e foi criado por um próspero mercador da cidade, que lhe emprestou o sobrenome. Escritor, editor e crítico literário, Poe é considerado um precursor da literatura policial, autor dos contos reunidos em Histórias extraordinárias. Morreu em Baltimore, em 1849, dias depois de ser encontrado na rua sofrendo de delírios. A causa de sua morte ainda é um mistério.
