Summary

Narra la historia un abogado de nombre desconocido que tiene su oficina en Wall Street, Nueva York, quien, según sus propias palabras, "en la tranquilidad de un cómodo retiro, trabaja cómodamente con los títulos de propiedad de los hombres ricos, con hipotecas y obligaciones". Tiene tres empleados, con los apodos de Turkey ("Pavo"), Nippers ("Tenazas") y Ginger Nut ("Nuez de jengibre"), a los cuales describe en la obra.

Turkey y Nippers son copistas, o escribientes, en tanto que Ginger Nut, que tiene sólo doce años, es el chico de los recados. Los dos escribientes no son suficientes para hacer el trabajo de la oficina, por lo cual el narrador pone un anuncio para contratar un nuevo empleado, al reclamo del cual acude Bartleby, quien es de inmediato contratado. Su figura es descrita como "pálidamente pulcra, lamentablemente respetable, incurablemente solitaria"
