Produktbeschreibung

A frail old fisherman, perched high atop a Norwegian mountain, recounts the harrowing, life-altering experience of a fateful fishing trip. When a mysterious and colossal maelström envelops their boat, one brother is swallowed by the sea, another is driven to insanity, and the narrator is aged beyond his earthly years by the sheer terror. Facing certain doom, he finds a sliver of salvation in the depths of the rotating vortex, using observation, scientific logic, and daring to find order inside the ultimate chaos.

From the visionary mind of Edgar Allan Poe, the inventor of detective fiction and master of the macabre, comes a gripping tale that pushes the boundaries of terror and reason. A Descent into the Maelström, first published in 1841, is a mesmerizing blend of supernatural horror and cold, calculated logic.

This breathtaking tale of preternatural horror and intellectual resilience is essential reading for fans of Poe's masterful fiction. Experience an ordeal of sheer terror where the only hope lies in embracing the mathematical beauty of destruction.
