Synopsis
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 stores from 'The Piazza Tales', Melville's idiosyncratic collection: 'The Lightning Rod' and 'The Bell Tower'. A companion set to the highly-praised collection 'Classic American Short Stories' read by William Roberts including 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' by Ambrose Bierce.
