Edgar Allan Poe’s only completed novel, written in 1838, was first presented to the Russian reader in F. M. Dostoevsky’s literary magazine “Time” in 1861. Today, there are about ten official Russian translations of this mysterious work, full of adventure and mysticism. This publication publishes the version of Konstantin Dmitrievich Balmont, an outstanding symbolist poet of the Silver Age. Despite the fact that his translation is over a hundred years old, it remains one of the most accurate and closest to the original text. The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket is a gripping and mind-blowing novel. In style, it is slightly different from the rest of Edgar Allan Poe’s legacy. And yet, reading it, you realize that no one else could have written something like this.
