描述
A sci-fi story about a frozen Earth or oceans flooding and overflowing seems very ordinary today. But 120 years ago, it was not so ordinary. Someone wrote a story about a man who was caught in a whirlpool and described with horrifying details what he goes through and how he fights the gruesome forces of nature. That someone is Edgar Allan Poe and his moving story is the pioneer of one of the sci-fi sub-genres. Thank you, Mr. Poe!
