This book is one of the "Library of Babel" series, edited by the Argentine literary master Jorge Luis Borges, and includes Melville's masterpiece "Bartleby, the Scrivener." A strange novella by Melville, who stands at the pinnacle of world literature with "Moby Dick." Bartleby, a man who stubbornly refuses to do anything he doesn't want to do. A mysterious and peculiar novel. It includes a preface by Borges, making it interesting to see how the master read Melville. (I'm a Melville fan...)
