About this book

Book Summary

"I think there is some need for doubt," I answered "the singular character of the hero of those adventures being taken into consideration - at least concerning the phenomena of the island of Tsalal.

And we know that Arthur Pym was mistaken in asserting that Captain William Guy and several of his companions perished in the landslip of the hill at Klock-Klock."
