The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket (1838) is Edgar Allan Poe’s only complete novel. It follows a young man who stows away on a whaling ship and is drawn into a sea voyage that grows stranger and more dangerous as it goes on. The book has been classified as adventure fiction, spiritual allegory, and proto-science fiction.
Pym has had a long afterlife in literature, with over 300 editions and adaptations published by the late twentieth century. Jules Verne wrote a sequel to it, and scholars continue to debate what Poe intended with its deliberately ambiguous ending.
