Thrilling hockey? Check. Coming of age story? Check. Love interest? Check. Military connection? Check. Foreign setting? Check. A powerful story with hidden depths? Check and check! Ahab checks every single box and will stay with you long after you finish it. When Corporal Will Foley, a young U.S. Army paratrooper, is floored by life his hockey-wired brain does what it has been trained to do-get up and get back in the action! But it's just not that easy. Will escapes the monotony and pain of rehab by cheering for his home-town Bruins, and as he fights to save his military career, he finds safe harbor at the local rink. Hockey keeps Will afloat as he struggles to come to terms with his slacker roommate, his sexy girlfriend, and his hard-boiled Boston P.D. father. The story's Bavarian settings-including Munich's legendary Oktoberfest, Grafenwöhr's iconic water tower, and Weiden's raucous hockey arena-are vivid and unforgettable. This remarkable yarn grew out of the author's love of hockey, soldiers, and storytelling. Told from the heart, it's as riveting as a breakaway and as intense as a bench-clearing brawl, while still managing to go beyond being a thrilling hockey adventure by confronting tough, controversial issues head-on. Readers who fell for the brutal honesty of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk will appreciate the unflinching description of Army life, while puck-heads who loved the food, fun, and excitement of Playing for Pizza will revel in the colorful portrayal of Bavarian hockey, food and culture.

A sea of danger and magic. A family that can’t stay clear of the water… Morgan refuses to let her twin brother suffer the same fate as their whale-obsessed father Captain Ahab. Despite her efforts to keep Nathan on dry land, her brother can’t resist the siren song of the sea and rumors of untold treasures on the Island of Nightmares… Before Nathan can drop anchor and find his bounty, his crew encounters an ominous force. He’s convinced the creature is somehow connected to his father’s past and that one of his crew has been bitten. Could Nathan actually be on the run from a werewhale? As the dark island fast approaches, Nathan’s adventure could end in a watery grave. It’s up to Morgan and her father’s old crewmate Ishmael to save Nathan’s life. But can she possibly change the mind of a man with the same stubborn streak as Captain Ahab? Ahab’s Daughter is the rollicking first novel in The Werewhale Saga, a series of fantasy adventures. If you like tenacious heroines, supernatural twists, and high seas suspense, then you’ll love Ron Vitale’s entertaining follow-up to Herman Melville’s literary classic.

"The echoey sounds of stretching and cracking ice filled the inlet. The surround had become an arena, an eternal, unearthly battleground. The white whale broke the surface slowly. Inching forward, it broke the ice ahead of its brow, sending mountainous shards into the starry night." "It's just another damned hill," said Carney. In love with Melville's Moby Dick, I wrote a prequel beginning with the American Revolution. Ahab, a Love Story, is a romantic adventure describing and humanizing the boy, the son, the lover, and the crushed soul who became Ahab. Upon its completion, a sequel to Moby Dick "beckoned me." What became of the Rachel's survivor(s), of Melville, of the white whale? Meet Carney, Isaiah, Isaac and Irene. Fall in love with them. Death to Moby Dick, a Love Story, is a novel from my heart to yours. The saga continues from the American Revolution to the beginnings of the first World War. If you are a fan of Real History, of Adventures on the High Seas, of Melville's Moby Dick... and of Love, both these books are a must-read.

The union of the two most wicked characters in the bible from the subject of this exciting novel in which Ahab, the playboy King of Israel, woos Jezebel, the dazzling, uninhibited high-priestess of Phoenicia, and makes her his queen. Ahab doesn't care about the God of the Hebrews, and barely tolerates Jezebel's gods, but she is fanatical in her obeisance to them, and unceasingly directs her 750 ministers to propagate the cult of Baal among the Israelites to the point of killing their priests and prophets who decry her idolatry and witchcraft. Their love is a roller-coaster affair - at times, not too often, he is 'Ach' and she, 'Jez', but mostly Jezebel practices harlotries, and dances nude in her temple for strange hands to fondle and exhilarate her body. In an exceptional gesture of love, however, Jezebel orchestrates the death of Naboth for her husband to acquire his coveted orchard. Yet, when the king's concessions to the Elders of Israel lower the status of her idols, she doesn't hesitate to ignore him. Jezebel is overcome with loving anxiety before Ahab departs for war where he dies bravely in battle against the Assyrians, in his most shining hour. Prophetically the dogs lick up his blood. Jezebel then performs her farewell dance and veils her face forever. She is no less courageous. When Jehu, king of Judah, slaughters her priests, destroys her gods, and pursues her, she dresses herself in her finery, paints her eyes, arranges her hair, and jumps to her death before his very eyes. The dogs devour her flesh, as Elijah the Tishbite foretells.

The love story is an integral part of many novels. What is its narrative status? How does it function, and why? In this original study of Socratic 'love stories, ' from Plato through Fielding and Faulkner to the Postmodernists, Jennie Wang proposes a new narrative theory in the study of the novel, which deconstructs the mimesis of 'love stories' and reconstructs their historicity. Wang claims that in the Platonic tradition, the construction of 'love stories' is often a dramatization of the author's historical vision, philosophical speculations, cultural criticism, or political ideology. Novelistic love functions as a literary medium, a power of free speech, that enables the novelist to speak unspeakable truths and include excluded subjects. Wang's work will be of interest to both philosophers and scholars of American literature and postmodernism.

Although Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick is beloved as one of the most profound and enduring works of American fiction, we rarely consider it a work of nature writing—or even a novel of the sea. Yet Pulitzer Prize–winning author Annie Dillard avers Moby-Dick is the “best book ever written about nature,” and nearly the entirety of the story is set on the waves, with scarcely a whiff of land. In fact, Ishmael’s sea yarn is in conversation with the nature writing of Emerson and Thoreau, and Melville himself did much more than live for a year in a cabin beside a pond. He set sail: to the far remote Pacific Ocean, spending more than three years at sea before writing his masterpiece in 1851. A revelation for Moby-Dick devotees and neophytes alike, Ahab’s Rolling Sea is a chronological journey through the natural history of Melville’s novel. From white whales to whale intelligence, giant squids, barnacles, albatross, and sharks, Richard J. King examines what Melville knew from his own experiences and the sources available to a reader in the mid-1800s, exploring how and why Melville might have twisted what was known to serve his fiction. King then climbs to the crow’s nest, setting Melville in the context of the American perception of the ocean in 1851—at the very start of the Industrial Revolution and just before the publication of On the Origin of Species. King compares Ahab’s and Ishmael’s worldviews to how we see the ocean today: an expanse still immortal and sublime, but also in crisis. And although the concept of stewardship of the sea would have been entirely foreign, if not absurd, to Melville, King argues that Melville’s narrator Ishmael reveals his own tendencies toward what we would now call environmentalism. Featuring a coffer of illustrations and an array of interviews with contemporary scientists, fishers, and whale watch operators, Ahab’s Rolling Sea offers new insight not only into a cherished masterwork and its author but also into our evolving relationship with the briny deep—from whale hunters to climate refugees.

Why Captain Ahab is worthy of our fear—and our compassion Herman Melville’s Captain Ahab is perennially seen as the paradigm of a controlling, tyrannical agent. Ahab Unbound leaves his position as a Cold War icon behind, recasting him as a contingent figure, transformed by his environment—by chemistry, electromagnetism, entomology, meteorology, diet, illness, pain, trauma, and neurons firing—in ways that unexpectedly force us to see him as worthy of our empathy and our compassion. In sixteen essays by leading scholars, Ahab Unbound advances an urgent inquiry into Melville’s emergence as a center of gravity for materialist work, reframing his infamous whaling captain in terms of pressing conversations in animal studies, critical race and ethnic studies, disability studies, environmental humanities, medical humanities, political theory, and posthumanism. By taking Ahab as a focal point, we gather and give shape to the multitude of ways that materialism produces criticism in our current moment. Collectively, these readings challenge our thinking about the boundaries of both persons and nations, along with the racist and environmental violence caused by categories like the person and the human. Ahab Unbound makes a compelling case for both the vitality of materialist inquiry and the continued resonance of Melville’s work.
