The Narrative Of Arthur Gordon Pym Of Nantucket
''The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket'' (1838) is the only complete novel written by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. 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 farther 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 h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The case concerned survival cannibalism following a shipwreck, and its purported justification on the basis of a custom of the sea. The four-man crew of the wrecked yacht ''Mignonette'' were cast adrift in a small lifeboat without provisions. After nearly three weeks at sea, and with little hope of rescue, two of the crew, Dudley and Stephens, decided that in order to save their own lives they would need to kill and eat the ship's 17-year-old cabin boy Richard Parker, who by that time had fallen seriously ill after drinking seawater. This they subsequently did. The defendants were found guilty and were sentenced to the statutory death penalty, though with a recommendation of mercy. The case marked the culmination of a long history of attempts by the law, in the face of a bank of p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
