The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket (Penguin Classics)

A stowaway aboard the whaling ship Grampus, Arthur Gordon Pym finds himself bound on an extraordinary voyage to the high southern latitudes. Poe's remarkable novel recounts the incredible adventures and discoveries of Pym and his companions. There is mutiny, appalling butchery, cannibalism, a corpse-ridden ghost ship, gigantic polar bears, and uncharted islands peopled by barbarian hordes. 245 pages.
