Synopsis "Bartleby, el Escribiente y Otros Cuentos (in Spanish)"

Bartleby, el escribiente es una de las narraciones más extrañas de la historia de la literatura, y su protagonista uno de los más excéntricos especímenes de la raza humana, cuyo lúcido e implacable nihilismo recuerda las teorías chinas acerca de la conducta ideal del emperador y del hombre santo. Desde el mismo momento de su nacimiento, el relato de Herman Melville ha espoleado la polémica y ha generado el intenso interés que garantiza la inmortalidad de una obra literaria: la fascinación. Bartleby, el escribiente es considerado hoy un precursor insólito de los mejores relatos de Kafka. En El campanario asistimos al trágico final de un personaje fáustico, y en su trama se percibe la influencia de su amigo Nathaniel Hawthorne. Los dos templos consta en realidad de dos textos: el primero fue censurado en su día para no herir la sensibilidad religiosa de los lectores; y el segundo, escrito en 1849 durante un viaje a Europa, describe Londres como una ciudad babilónica. En El hombre pararrayos brilla el talento irónico de Melville contra los abundantes predicadores que en aquella época vivían de propagar la salvación ante un fin del mundo inminente. El violinista, en fin, se ha interpretado como una elaboración simbólica de su destino como escritor.

Herman Melville (New York, August 1, 1819-New York, September 28, 1891)1 was an American writer, novelist, poet, and essayist from the American Renaissance period. Among his most famous novels are Typee (1846), based on his experiences in Polynesia, and the novel Moby Dick (1851),1 considered his masterpiece and a classic of world literature

Between 1853 and 1855, he published a series of stories in Putnam Magazine, most of which were collected in The Piazza Tales, including two of Melville's most important narratives: the story Bartleby, the Scrivener and the novella Benito Cereno. Also featured is the story The Encantadas, consisting of ten sketches about the Galapagos Islands linked by a single narrator. In 1857, The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade, also known as The Confidence-Man, was the last prose fiction work he published. Seeking financial stability, he abandoned writing, accepting a position as a customs inspector

In his later years, in which he also had to endure the death of two of his brothers as well as the death of two of his sons, Clarence, from tuberculosis, and Malcolm from a possible suicide, as well as the death of another of his sons at thirty-five years old, Stanwix Melville, he dedicated himself to writing poetry. Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War, from 1866, is a poetic reflection on the Civil War and Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land, a fictional epic poem, published in 1876. The novel Billy Budd, which he left unfinished and was posthumously published in London in 1924, is considered one of the most significant works of American literature.

Este libro ya vale la pena solo por el texto de Bartleby. Un cuento imprescindible para cualquier aficionado a la literatura. Los demás cuentos están bien y ayudan a expandir la concepción literaria de este genial e infravalorado autor. La edición es impecable como todo lo de Valdemar: letra grande, hojas de buen gramaje, márgenes amables. El libro llegó dentro de la fecha indicada y en buenas condiciones.

Excelente edición, a pesar de ser tamaño de bolsillo, la calidad del papel es muy buena y el tamaño de letra agradable.
