Bartleby the scrivener -- The lightning rod man -- The bell-tower.
Summary:
Melville's "Bartleby" is a classic American short story, a strange tale of an assiduous copyist whose catch-phrase is "I would prefer not to." It is joined here by two other stories from The piazza tales, Melville's idiosyncratic collection: "The lightning-rod man" and "The bell tower."
