This edition of Bartleby, the Scrivener is a contemporary take on Herman Melville's cheeky tale. Immerse yourself in the story of Bartleby, a mysterious scrivener whose enigmatic refusal - "I would prefer not to" - echoes through the corridors of literature and philosophy.This beautifully illustrated read-in-one-sitting book brings Melville's work to life like never before. Crowder's conceptual illustrations depict the atmosphere of the office and the workers who spend their lives there. From bustling streets to sets of lost keys, drawings of important moments transport you to the heart of the story. But this edition offers more than images - study questions at the end are perfect for classrooms, book clubs, or personal reading.
