«Bartleby, el escribiente» is a short story by Herman Melville published by Bruguera in 1984 in paperback (92 pages, in Spanish).
The story presents Bartleby, a scrivener who defies workplace conventions with his reply «Preferiría no hacerlo». His attitude, at once docile and immovable, turns the tale into a reflection on individuality, alienation, and passive resistance in the modern working world.
A classic by Herman Melville, recommended for those seeking a short story with philosophical depth and critique of the working world.
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.
