A review by sirhe
The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe

4.0

This book is an action packed voyage. It focuses on crucial topics of the early 19th century, and gives a good sense of the American concious at the time. It is a slow read, and reads like a guidebook. The Penguin edition gives insight into Poe's sources, but I would have preferred more general footnotes that provide clarity on some of Poe's imagery or symbolism.
