Description:... Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.The Arthur Gordon Pym Narrative of Nantucket (1838) is the only complete novel written by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe. The work tells the story of the young Arthur Gordon Pym, who is kept on board a whaling ship called Grampus. Various adventures and misadventures follow Pym, including shipwreck, mutiny, and cannibalism, before the Jane Guy crew saves him. Aboard this ship, Pym and a sailor named Dirk Peters continue their adventures further south. Docking ashore, they encounter hostile black-skinned natives before escaping back to the ocean. The novel ends abruptly as Pym and Peters continue to the South Pole.The story begins as a fairly conventional adventure at sea, but it becomes increasingly strange and difficult to classify. Poe, who was intending to present a realistic story, was inspired by various real-life accounts of sea travel, drawing heavily on Jeremiah N. Reynolds and referencing Hollow Earth theory.
