An Experience at Sea
森尼
It is a short science fiction story written by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. The story is narrated by an unnamed narrator at sea who finds himself in a series of painful situations. As his ship sailed south, he was close to his catastrophic death, so he wrote this manuscript. The manuscript tells the stories of his adventures when he at sea.
In this novel the author imitates the popular ocean novel of that time and satirizes Captain John Sims ’strange ideas. This is also the author’s first scientific novel, which puts forward a more serious philosophical theme. Some critics believe the story was meant as a satire of typical sea tales.
