Overview

Considéré parfois comme une oeuvre de jeunesse, ce qui ne veut pas dire grand-chose, dans le cas de Poe, ce long récit constitue la seule tentative romanesque d'un écrivain essentiellement absorbé par ses contes. À ce titre déjà, elle intrigue et passionne, inscrivant nombre d'obsessions chères à l'auteur dans un cadre plus ample, et semble-t-il, volontairement inachevé. Asphyxie, carnages, ouragans, anthropophagie, ensevelissement, rien n'est épargné au malheureux Pym, dont l'histoire se résume à une lente escalade inversée, jusqu'aux confins d'un funèbre abîme blanc. Terreur et descente aux enfers dont Poe démonte les mécanismes avec un soin mathématique, très proche voisin du délire. Surchargé de symboles, Les Aventures d'Arthur Gordon Pym offrira un terrain de choix à la psychanalyse. Mais sa force expressive, son pouvoir de fascination restent entiers.

About the Author

About The Author
Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was orphaned at the age of three and adopted by a wealthy Virginia family with whom he had a troubled relationship. He excelled in his studies of language and literature at school, and self-published his first book, Tamerlane and Other Poems, in 1827. In 1830, Poe embarked on a career as a writer and began contributing reviews and essays to popular periodicals. He also wrote sketches and short fiction, and in 1833 published his only completed novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Over the next five years he established himself as a master of the short story form through the publication of "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and other well–known works. In 1841, he wrote "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," generally considered the first modern detective story. The publication of The Raven and Other Poems in 1845 brought him additional fame as a poet.
