Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street
By Herman Melville
Length1h 38m
About this audiobook
A quiet law copyist suddenly ceases to obey orders, meeting every request with the haunting refrain that he would prefer not to. This enigmatic resistance destabilizes his office and leaves his employer in a state of existential confusion. Melville’s surreal office drama serves as a powerful meditation on alienation and the limits of human sympathy.
