The man felt sorry for the geese and wanted to help them. The barn would be a great place for them to stay, he thought. It's warm and safe; surely they could spend the night and wait out the storm. So he walked over to the barn and opened the doors wide, then watched and waited, hoping they would notice the open barn and go inside.

Why did this block occur?

A Court in Germany ordered that access to certain items in the Project Gutenberg collection are blocked from Germany. Project Gutenberg believes the Court has no jurisdiction over the matter, but until the issue is resolved, it will comply.

'A Descent into the Maelström' is an 1841 short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. In the tale, a man recounts how he survived a shipwreck and a whirlpool. It has been grouped with Poe's tales of ratiocination and also labeled an early form of science fiction.

Plot[edit]

Inspired by the Moskstraumen, it is couched as a story within a story, a tale told at the summit of a mountain climb in Lofoten, Norway. The story is told by an old man who reveals that he only appears old—'You suppose me a very old man,' he says, 'but I am not. It took less than a single day to change these hairs from a jetty black to white, to weaken my limbs, and to unstring my nerves.' The narrator, convinced by the power of the whirlpools he sees in the ocean beyond, is then told of the 'old' man's fishing trip with his two brothers a few years ago.

Driven by 'the most terrible hurricane that ever came out of the heavens', their ship was caught in the vortex. One brother was pulled into the waves; the other was driven mad by the horror of the spectacle, and drowned as the ship was pulled under. At first the narrator only saw hideous terror in the spectacle. In a moment of revelation, he saw that the Maelström is a beautiful and awesome creation. Observing how objects around him were attracted and pulled into it, he deduced that 'the larger the bodies, the more rapid their descent' and that spherical-shaped objects were pulled in the fastest. Unlike his brother, he abandoned ship and held on to a cylindrical barrel until he was saved several hours later when the whirlpool temporarily subsided, and he was rescued by some fishermen. The 'old' man tells the story to the narrator without any hope that the narrator will believe it.

Analysis[edit]

The story's opening bears a similarity to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798): in both, an excited old man tells his story of shipwreck and survival.^[1] The tale is one of sensation, emphasizing the narrator's thoughts and feelings, especially his terror of being killed in the whirlpool.^[2] The narrator uses his reasoning skills to survive and the story is considered one of Poe's early examples of science fiction.^[3]

Major themes[edit]

Ratiocination (see also 'The Mystery of Marie Roget', 'The Purloined Letter', C. Auguste Dupin)
Sea tale (see also The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, 'MS. Found in a Bottle', 'The Oblong Box')
Story within a story (see also 'The Oval Portrait')

Allusions[edit]

The story mentions Jonas Danilssønn Ramus, a man from Norway who wrote about a famous maelström at Saltstraumen. The opening epigraph is quoted from an essay by Joseph Glanvill called 'Against Confidence in Philosophy and Matters of Speculation' (1676), though Poe altered the wording significantly.^[4]

Publication history[edit]

'A Descent into the Maelström' first appeared in Graham's Magazine, May 1841.

The story first appeared in the May 1841 edition of Graham's Magazine, published in April.^[5] Poe rushed to complete the story in time and later admitted that the conclusion was imperfect.^[6] Shortly after Poe's story 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' was translated into French without acknowledgment, French readers were seeking out other Poe works and 'A Descent into the Maelström' was amongst the earliest translated.^[7]

Like his other sea adventure works The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket and The Journal of Julius Rodman, 'A Descent into the Maelström' was believed by readers to be true and one passage was re
