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.

Work Description
"Bartleby the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street" is a short story by Herman Melville. The story first appeared, anonymously, in Putnam's Magazine in two parts. The first part appeared in November 1853, with the conclusion published in December 1853. It was reprinted in Melville's The Piazza Tales in 1856 with minor textual alterations. The work is said to have been inspired, in part, by Melville's reading of Emerson, and some have pointed to specific parallels to Emerson's essay, "The Transcendentalist." The story has been adapted twice: once in 1970, starring Paul Scofield, and again in 2001, starring Crispin Glover.
