Bartleby, the Scrivener 书记员巴特子比（英文版） (English Edition)

The narrator, an elderly lawyer who has a very comfortable business helping wealthy men deal with mortgages, title deeds, and bonds, relates the story of the strangest man he has ever known. In the story, a Wall Street lawyer hires a new clerk who, after an initial bout of hard work, refuses to make copy or do any other task required of him, with the words "I would prefer not to". The lawyer cannot bring himself to remove Bartleby from his premises, and decides instead to move his office, but the new proprietor removes Bartleby to prison, where he perishes. "Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street" by Herman Melville is a short story first serialized in the issues of Putnam's Magazine, and reprinted with minor textual alterations in 1856. Numerous critical essays have been published on the story, which scholar Robert Milder describes as "unquestionably the masterpiece of the short fiction" in the Melville canon.
