Eu poderia te contar sobre Bartleby, mas prefiro não. ❌
Anti-herói dos tempos modernos, o comportamento de Bartleby provoca reações de repulsa, ira e indignação – não por aquilo que faz, mas pelo que se recusa a fazer. Bartleby não gosta de trabalhar: não toma café ou se obriga a ser produtivo. Mas tampouco gosta de sair para se divertir – não bebe cerveja ou puxa assunto com quem quer que seja. Também não se volta para o divino ou transcendente, já que não nutre qualquer crença religiosa. Bartleby é, acima de tudo, um homem de aspecto terrivelmente sedado.

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.
