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.

Herman Melville

The writing career of Herman Melville (1819 - 1891) peaked early, with his early novels, such as Typee becoming best sellers.

By the mid-1850s his poularity declined sharply, and by the time he died he had been largely forgotten.

Yet in time his novel Moby Dick came to be regarded as one of the finest works of American, and indeed world, literature, as was Billy Budd, which was not published until long after his death, in 1924.
