Edgar Allan Poe is famed for his unsettling short stories, but he also wrote a full-length novel, his only one: The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Framed as the recollections of an adventurous stowaway, Pym begins as a swashbuckling adventure novel, and after growing increasingly weirder, ends on a surreal note worthy of the best of Poe¿s short stories. Despite Poe himself calling it a ¿a very silly book,¿ Pym went on to become one of his most-translated and influential works, coloring the themes of future adventure and weird fiction writers like Jules Verne and H. P. Lovecraft. It continues to influence writers to this day.

Autorenporträt
Edgar Allan Poe, né le 19 janvier 1809 à Boston et mort le 7 octobre 1849 à Baltimore, est un poète, romancier, nouvelliste, critique littéraire, dramaturge et éditeur américain, ainsi que l'une des principales figures du romantisme américain. Connu surtout pour ses contes ¿ genre dont la brièveté lui permet de mettre en valeur sa théorie de l'effet, suivant laquelle tous les éléments du texte doivent concourir à la réalisation d'un effet unique ¿ il a donné à la nouvelle ses lettres de noblesse et est considéré comme l¿inventeur du roman policier. Nombre de ses récits préfigurent les genres de la science-fiction et du fantastique.
