Product Description
Here, in a new, beautifully laid-out, easy-to-read edition is Herman Melville's classic novella Bartleby, the Scrivener. It is the story of a Wall Street lawyer who hires a new clerk, Bartleby, who after an initial bout of hard work, refuses all tasks required of him, responding simply with the words, "I would prefer not to." On its face a simple story of a single man engaging in an act of rebellion against the monotony of his job, Bartleby explores deep themes regarding the increasing isolation and depression of American labor and life.
Herman Melville (1819-1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet, most famous for his work Moby Dick, considered to be one of the great American novels.Â
