Moby-Dick - Herman Melville

In Moby-Dick, sailor Ishmael joins the whaling ship Pequod under the command of the obsessive Captain Ahab. Ahab’s single-minded quest is to hunt down Moby Dick, a massive white whale that once maimed him. The voyage becomes a profound exploration of obsession, fate, and humanity’s struggle against nature. As Ahab’s vengeance consumes him, the pursuit ends in tragedy, leaving Ishmael as the sole survivor to tell the tale.
