{"product_id":"bartleby-herman-melville-9781540390523","title":"Bartleby","description":"\"Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street\" is a short story by the American writer Herman Melville, first serialized anonymously in two parts in the November and December 1853 issues of Putnam's Magazine, and reprinted with minor textual alterations in his The Piazza Tales in 1856. A Wall Street lawyer hires a new clerk who-after an initial bout of hard work-refuses to make copy and 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Herman Melville\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540390527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540390523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.07d","brand":"Herman Melville","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067335438591,"sku":"9781540390523","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f73d8eb-f481-40a3-8e0d-3c74b25c9988.jpg?v=1685412614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bartleby-herman-melville-9781540390523","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
