Pressestimmen
"I wanted them all, even those I'd already read."
—Ron Rosenbaum, The New York Observer
"Small wonders."
—Time Out London
"[F]irst-rate…astutely selected and attractively packaged…indisputably great works."
—Adam Begley, The New York Observer
"I’ve always been haunted by Bartleby, the proto-slacker. But it’s the handsomely minimalist cover of the Melville House edition that gets me here, one of many in the small publisher’s fine 'Art of the Novella' series."
—The New Yorker
"The Art of the Novella series is sort of an anti-Kindle. What these singular, distinctive titles celebrate is book-ness. They're slim enough to be portable but showy enough to be conspicuously consumed—tiny little objects that demand to be loved for the commodities they are."
—KQED (NPR San Francisco)
"Some like it short, and if you're one of them, Melville House, an independent publisher based in Brooklyn, has a line of books for you... elegant-looking paperback editions ...a good read in a small package."
—The Wall Street Journal

Kurzbeschreibung
This beautifully packaged series of classic novellas includes the works of Anton Chekhov, Colette, Henry James, Herman Melville, and Leo Tolstoy. These collectible editions are the first single-volume publications of these classic tales, offering a closer look at this underappreciated literary form and providing a fresh take on the world's most celebrated authors. The rat race of Wall Street is turned on its head when Bartleby the copier decides that he simply "would prefer not to" in this absorbing early modernist tale.

While reading the piece, I was strangly trying to get into the mind of Bartleby and all of his wonderments. Here was a character that seemed to have a quiet solitude about him and perhaps he was misunderstood in a sense. We are attracted to deviant behavior and equate it to something bad. But sometimes the oddest behaviors are the ones that make the most sense if we stop to think about them. Bartleby chose to live life according to his own will. It does not matter what people think of his actions (or lackof) and he being true to himself should be viewed as an inspiration to us all.
One thing that I kept questioning myself throughout the piece was what I would do with Bartleby if I were in the main character's position. I would no doubt have been as perplexed as he was. I don't think I would have the propensity to throw Bartleby out onto the street. Bartleby, strangely seemed to be a permanent fixture with the office; one with the office if you will. And it would've been at odds to disentangle the two.

Bartleby works in an office in Manhattan. Instead of always doing what is asked of him, he singles out one aspect of the work that he hates most, and refuses to do it. Good for him. He gets away with it too. Then he refuses to do something else, and something else. You know, come to think of it, he's not doing a damn thing. I guess you're not surprised to learn that he gets fired. But he doesn't leave. He lives in the office. He sleeps there. He stares out the window there. Why should he leave? Read the story. How would you rewrite the ending? I'd probably like your ending better than this one.

The story of Bartleby is simply about a man loosing his will to live. It is intended to show the reader a dark side in all of us when the meaning of our existence is allowed to be challenged. The chilling image of Bartleby in his previous job at the Dead Letter Office leaves my imagination running wild, wondering about the contents of the letters and how Bartleby must have gone from concern to sadness to indifference about his own mortality as he read the messages written to those who can no longer receive them. I'm glad Melville left Bartleby's reason for being (or not being) a mystery. This way, any reader can relate to the story by drawing on their own experience.

most people have it wrong
Most people have missed the main point of Herman Melville's Bartleby. This is not a story about a man sinking into unfathomable darkness or a dark comedy about an estranged... Lesen Sie weiter...

It was a scream
I laughed aloud while reading the narrator's indignant reactions to his employees insolence. I thought it was hilarious-- a classic dark comedy. Lesen Sie weiter...

Symbolic tale remains a bore...
Like the reader from Berkeley, I cringed throughout "Bartleby." It is easy to understand why this talented author was unappreciated during his post-Moby Dick period. Lesen Sie weiter...
