In this enigmatic and moving story, Herman Melville portrays the quiet rebellion of an ordinary man against the machinery of modern life. The story begins when a new typist, named Bartleby, is hired by a lawyer with an office on Manhattan's famous Wall Street. Bartleby performs well at first, but his "passive resistance" soon emerges, manifested in his repeated refrain, "I'd rather not," whenever asked to perform a task, creating chaos in the office. As Bartleby's silent resistance continues, the lawyer finds himself sympathizing with him, deeply contemplating the meaning of empathy, alienation, and the limits of human connection. Borges described Melville’s masterpiece “Bartleby the Scribes,” saying that it outlined the boundaries of a literary genre that Franz Kafka would later reinvent and explore more deeply. He meant the imaginings related to behavior and feelings, or as they are called today… psychological fiction.
