This volume collects three novels, by three great writers, of the adventures of Arthur Gordon Pym. This character was created by Edgar Allan Poe; and "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket" (1838) is his only complete novel, and one of the most translated of Poe's works. It is 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 further 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 towards the South Pole. Precisely because of the abrupt end, several authors have attempted at sequels. The two most famous, that we include in this volume, are the ones by Jules Verne and Charles Dake. Verne's An Antartic Mystery presents an imaginative work of fiction as a believable story by including accurate factual details.The two-volume novel explores the adventures of the Halbrane as its crew searches for answers to what became of Pym. The third novel is an informal sequel, the 1899 novel A Strange Discovery by Charles Romeyn Dake. Here, the narrator, Doctor Bainbridge, recounts the story his patient Dirk Peters told him of his journey with Gordon Pym in Antarctica, including a discussion of Poe's poem "The Raven". Now for the first time in one volume, you may finally know what did happened to Arthur Gordon Pym.… (mehr)

Review of: A Strange Discovery, by Charles Romyn Dake

This is another sequel to Edgar Allen Poe's Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, published in 1899, two years after Jules Verne's sequel. This one is not as good as Verne's and is basically a story of an isolated and advanced civilisation living near the South Pole, narrated on his deathbed by the elderly Dirk Peters. Unlike Verne's sequel, Dake's does not go with the grain of Poe's original, and, though I may be doing the author an injustice, feels to me like a completely separate story tenuously linked to Verne's sequel in order to raise his profile - Dake had apparently only written two short stories previously. The story is also particularly a vehicle for Dake's own philosophical observations. Tragically, he apparently committed suicide the same year the book was published after discovering he had lung cancer. The story is a curiosity only. ( )
