Cover von Herman Melville: Bartleby, the Scrivener (ePUB)

‚Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street‘ is a short story by the American writer Herman Melville (1819–1891). It first appeared anonymously in two parts in the November and December 1853 editions of Putnam’s Magazine, and was reprinted with minor textual alterations in his The Piazza Tales in 1856.About the Author: HERMAN MELVILLE (1819-1891) was born in New York City. Family hardships forced him to leave school for various occupations, including shipping as a cabin boy to Liverpool in 1839–a voyage that sparked his love for the sea. A shrewd social critic and philosopher in his fiction, he is considered an outstanding writer of the sea and a great stylist who mastered both realistic narrative and a rich, rhythmical prose. He is best known for his novel Moby-Dick and the posthumously published novella Billy Budd.
