Herman Melville

Bartleby: suivi de Les Îles enchantées – Le Campanille

€5,50

Un homme est engagé comme copiste dans un cabinet de Wall Street. Et voilà qu'à peine arrivé, cet employé modeste se met, sans raison, à opposer à chacune des requêtes de son patron la même formule, stupéfiante : I would prefer not to, «J'aimerais mieux pas»... Cet homme, c'est Bartleby ; son destin, celui d'un original qui, par la force de quelques mots, sème autour de lui un vent de folie, sape toute autorité, et se coupe irrémédiablement du reste du monde. Fable grinçante où le cocasse le dispute au tragique, Bartleby est l'une des œuvres les plus corrosives de Melville. Les deux autres récits rassemblés dans ce volume lui font écho : les mystérieux marins solitaires des Îles enchantées et Bannadonna, l'artisan génial reclus dans la tour du Campanile, sont les frères de Bartleby. À travers ces trois histoires, Melville, explorateur de l'éme humaine, construit un univers dans lequel chaque personnage, défiant la normalité, emporte le lecteur dans le vertige salutaire du doute.
