La coleccion Perfiles se distingue por ser una edicion en letra grande, dedicada a todos los lectores que quieran disfrutar de las mejores novelas de los siglos XIX y XX sin sufrir las molestias de la vista cansada. A este nuevo placer se anade la idea de unir pasado y presente a traves de unas cartas insolitas, especialmente escritas para esta coleccion. En el caso de Bartleby, el escribiente es Lazaro Covadlo quien se anima a hablar con mister Bartleby, el extrano empleado que se instalo un buen dia en un despacho de Nueva York y desde ahi inauguro una nueva forma de mirar el mundo. Los anos han ido pasando, pero la modesta rebelion de Bartleby ha calado hondo, y las palabras de Covadlo nos recuerdan que la dignidad del ser humano no tiene fecha de caducidad. (back cover)

Out of all of Melville's work, Bartleby remains to be my all-time favorite. I can't help but adore just how strange and how open this story is to interpretation. I've written multiple papers on it, fanfiction, and even have a hardback copy (with naturally huge print to justify it).

I fell in love with these characters in high school, and I urge anyone who hasn't read this to try it. It's free, it's relatively short, and it's especially relevant for American society today.

Je découvre Melville avec cette nouvelle mythique. La brève et troublante histoire de Bartleby, employé au comportement insolite, embauché par le narrateur en tant que commis aux écritures. Copiste studieux, Bartleby s’avère être un personnage désarmant. Refusant toute autre tache en dehors de la copie pure et simple, il se borne à répondre systématiquement à son patron : « Je préfèrerais ne pas », chaque fois que celui-ci lui émet la moindre requête. Le narrateur fait partager au lecteur son désarroi face à l’attitude imperturbable et entêtée de Bartleby, mais aussi sa sympathie avec ce curieux personnage, jusqu’à un dénouement étrange et inexpliqué. Insolite et captivant, mais aussi délicieusement frustrant !
