Bartleby, The Scrivener by Herman Melville (English) Paperback Book

Description: Bartleby, The Scrivener by Herman Melville "Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street" is a short story by the American writer Herman Melville, first serialized anonymously in two parts in the November and December 1853 issues of Putnams Magazine, and reprinted with minor textual alterations in his The Piazza Tales in 1856. In the story, a Wall Street lawyer hires a new clerk who, after an initial bout of hard work, refuses to make copy or do any other task required of him, with the words "I would prefer not to". The lawyer cannot bring himself to remove Bartleby from his premises, and decides instead to move his office, but the new proprietor removes Bartleby to prison, where he perishes. Numerous critical essays have been published on the story, which scholar Robert Milder describes as "unquestionably the masterpiece of the short fiction" in the Melville canon FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Details ISBN1720999929 Author Herman Melville Pages 68 Language English Year 2018 ISBN-10 1720999929 ISBN-13 9781720999928 Format Paperback Publication Date 2018-06-11 Publisher Createspace Independent Publishing Platform Imprint Createspace Independent Publishing Platform Audience Age 14-18 DEWEY FIC Audience Teenage / Young adult We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
