Sinopsis

First published in 1851, Moby-Dick by Herman Melville is one of the greatest masterpieces of world literature—a powerful fusion of adventure, philosophy, and psychological depth.

The novel follows Ishmael, a restless sailor who joins the whaling ship Pequod on a voyage across the world's oceans. Commanded by the obsessive and enigmatic Captain Ahab, the journey soon reveals itself to be more than a commercial expedition. Ahab is consumed by a single, terrifying purpose: to hunt and destroy Moby Dick, the legendary white whale that maimed him. As the ship sails farther from civilization, Ahab's monomaniacal quest draws the crew into a fatal struggle between human will and the vast, indifferent forces of nature.

Rich with symbolism and layered with scientific detail, biblical allusion, and philosophical inquiry, Moby-Dick explores timeless themes such as obsession, fate, revenge, the limits of knowledge, and humanity's place in the universe. Melville's innovative narrative blends lyrical prose with dramatic tension, offering both thrilling sea adventure and profound meditation on existence itself.

Bold, complex, and endlessly interpretable, Moby-Dick remains a towering achievement in American literature—a novel that challenges, inspires, and rewards readers with every return voyage.

    She finds his child, and he falls for both of them. 
     
     
     
    I wasn't sure how meeting baby Lily's father would go, but it definitely wasn't while tripping over an empty beer can castle after walking into his apartment. 
     
     
     
    Locke Hayes, a disgraced pro football prodigy, is an absolute mess and within five minutes of meeting him, has become a complete pain in my ass. There's no way I'm leaving Lily with him, not until he proves he's dad material. 
     
     
     
    Did I think that would mean moving in with him and helping with his transition to fatherhood? Nope, but here I am, teaching him how to change a diaper and warm up a bottle. 
     
     
     
    But the more time I spend alone with Locke, the more trouble I have separating the father from the man. Especially when my heart flips every time I see him . . . with and without Lily in his arms. Then, I break my one rule. I was only meant to stay until Locke was ready to care for Lily on his own. 
     
     
     
    I always knew it would destroy me to leave Lily, but now I don't want to leave Locke Hayes. And I'm terrified he won't ask me to stay. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

      Ron Green had made a mistake, but it wasn't one that millions of other guys hadn't made before him. And maybe he deserved some sort of punishment, like his wife leaving him or his kids hating his guts. But this? Being the main suspect in a single murder was bad enough, but at the same time knowing he was a potential victim of a serial killer was even worse. However, before Green could convince the cops of his innocence, he first had to convince them the serial killer existed, and now they weren't believing a thing he said.
