The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket and Its Sequel, An Antarctic Mystery

Edgar Allan Poe's THE NARRATIVE OF ARTHUR GORDON PYM OF NANTUCKET follows the increasingly bizarre adventure of young Arthur Gordon Pym, a stowaway aboard the whaling ship 'Grampus.' Pym's voyage seems cursed, as he falls victim to a series of misfortunes, including shipwreck, a mutiny and cannibalism.

Jules Verne's AN ANTARCTIC MYSTERY continues THE NARRATIVE OF ARTHUR GORDON PYM OF NANTUCKET. Set in the sub-Antarctic and in Antarctica, the story follows the adventures of an expedition to the Kergulen Islands and then south to Antarctica, where they discover survivors of an earlier doomed expedition.
