«Bartleby, l'escrivent» is Herman Melville's story, published by Edicions Bromera in paperback (112 pages, in Catalan).
Bartleby is a scrivener who works copying documents in a Wall Street office. One day he stops doing it and answers everything with the phrase «Preferiría no hacerlo». His boss, a lawyer, moves from bewilderment to fascination and compassion before that silent resistance, which ends up infecting his surroundings.
It belongs to the collection «A la lluna de València» (no. 55) and features a translation by Pau Garcia Pons and Josep Marco Borillo.
For readers aged 14 and up and for those seeking this classic by Herman Melville.
Herman Melville was an American writer of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick (1851), Typee (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia, and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. At the time of his death, Melville was not well known to the public, but 1919, the centennial of his birth, was the starting point of a Melville revival. Moby-Dick would eventually be considered one of the Great American Novels.
