A Descent into the Maelstrom is a short story by 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. 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 t. 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. eProduct Identifiers
