Sinopsis

Dive into Herman Melville's timeless classic, Bartleby, The Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street. This thought-provoking tale explores the enigmatic life of Bartleby, a law copyist whose simple, passive resistance to societal norms—summed up in his iconic refrain, "I would prefer not to"—challenges the perceptions of his employer and readers alike. Set in the bustling legal world of 19th-century New York, the story is a profound meditation on isolation, individuality, and humanity's response to the unexplainable. A masterpiece of American literature, this novella continues to resonate with audiences, offering rich themes for reflection and discussion.

With Her in Ourland: Sequel to Herland is a feminist novel and sociological commentary written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The novel is a follow-up and sequel to Herland (1915), and picks up immediately following the events of Herland, with Terry, Van, and Ellador traveling from Herland to "Ourland" (the contemporary 1915-16 world).
