Herman Melville's Bartleby, the Scrivener is a razor-sharp parable of modern alienation, as relevant in today's open-plan offices as in the ledger-lined corridors of nineteenth-century Wall Street. This definitive presentation restores Melville's wit, irony, and moral complexity while offering gentle notes for contemporary readers.
When an amiable lawyer hires the enigmatic Bartleby, productivity soars-until the scrivener's sudden refusals grind the office's gears to a halt. Neither threats nor compassion can move him. As piles of unexamined documents grow, so does an unsettling question: What does society owe to the souls it consumes?
What You'll Discover in This Edition:
Perfect for readers of Kafka, Camus, or contemporary workplace satires, Bartleby invites you to question obedience, purpose, and the silent costs of "business as usual."
