«Ich möchte lieber nicht», mit dieser Aussage hat Bartleby einen festen Platz in der Weltliteratur. Herman Melville schuf mit «Bartleby, der Schreiber» eine Figur, die erst spät Ruhm erlangte. Jennifer Khakshouri ist begeistert von diesem unterhaltsamen, politischen und zugleich tieftraurigen Buch. Herman Melville kennt man vor allem für seinen weltberühmten Wälzer «Moby Dick». Er hat aber auch die kurze Geschichte «Bartleby, der Schreiber – Eine Geschichte aus der Wall Street» geschrieben. Die Geschichte wird von einem Notar erzählt, bei dem Bartleby als Schreiber arbeitet. Schreiber haben Dokumente wie Verträge Wort für Wort abgeschrieben. Bartleby erledigt seine Arbeit mit grosser Akribie, bis er eines Tages aufhört und sagt: «Ich möchte lieber nicht». ____________________ Dieses Buch steht im Zentrum der Folge: Herman Melville.

Jennifer Khakshouri, Adriana Altaras, Philipp Tingler und als Gast Psychotherapeutin Felizitas Ambauen diskutieren über «Bartleby, der Schreiber» von Herman Melville, «Dream Count» von Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, «Das Lieben danach» von Helene Bracht sowie über «See der Schöpfung» von Rachel Kushner. «I would prefer not to» oder «Ich möchte lieber nicht»: Mit diesem Satz hat sich ein Büroangestellter namens Bartleby in der Literaturgeschichte verewigt. Mit seiner Neinsager-Geschichte «Bartleby, der Schreiber» hat der englische Romancier Herman Melville neben «Moby Dick» einen zweiten Klassiker erschaffen. Angesichts der heutigen Suche nach Work-Life-Balance und Resilienz scheint dieser höchst aktuell. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ist ein Weltstar der Literatur. Ihr Roman «Americanah» über eine Frau, die in mehreren Kulturen gleichzeitig lebt, war ein internationaler Erfolg. Nun ist ihr lang erwarteter zweiter Roman «Dream Count» erschienen. Aus der Perspektive von vier Frauen um die 40 schreibt sie über Freundschaft, Selbstbestimmung und Afrika-Klischees. Mit 70 Jahren hat die Psychologin Helene Bracht ihr literarisches Debüt veröffentlicht. Fast ein ganzes Leben hat sie gebraucht, um sich dem Trauma ihrer Kindheit anzunähern: Im Memoir «Das Lieben danach» erzählt sie, wie sie von ihrem Nachhilfelehrer sexuell missbraucht wurde. Helene Bracht beschreibt offen und ungeschönt, welche Spuren dies in ihrem Liebesleben und ihrer Körperlichkeit hinterlassen hat. Die US-amerikanische Autorin Rachel Kushner hat mit «See der Schöpfung» einen Spionageroman mit philosophischem Tiefgang geschrieben. Eine Agentin hat den Auftrag, sich in eine Gemeinschaft von radikalen Umweltaktivisten einzuschleusen. Packend und intellektuell herausfordernd umkreist sie relevante Themen wie den Kampf um Wasserressourcen und Kapitalismuskritik. Die Bücher der Sendung sind: – Herman Melville: «Bartleby, der Schreiber» (Kampa); – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: «Dream Count» (S. Fischer); – Helene Bracht: «Das Lieben danach» (Hanser); und – Rachel Kushner: «See der Schöpfung» (Rowohlt). Gast der Sendung ist die Psychotherapeutin und Podcasterin Felizitas Ambauen.

In this special episode, hosts Medaya Ocher, Kate Wolf, and Eric Newman discuss the case for and against giving up—on life, vices, dreams, creative pursuits, jobs, relationships, exercise, and work. Their conversation is inspired by Adam Phillips's recent book On Giving Up, in which the psychoanalyst observes that “we give things up when we believe we can change; we give up when we believe we can't.” The hosts discuss what is acceptable to give up, their own fears of failure, both fictional and real-life inspirational quitters, and whether Bartleby was onto something when he said he'd prefer not to.

Welcome to The Nerdy Podcast ran by Northern Nerds!! Join us in this thought-provoking episode of "Divine Dialogue" as we take a closer look at Kevin Smith's cult classic, Dogma. Released in 1999, this film boldly tackles themes of faith, religion, and the human experience, all wrapped in Smith's signature blend of humor and heart. In this episode, we'll explore the film's unique take on Catholicism, the significance of its characters—from the fallen angels Bartleby and Loki to the unlikely heroine Bethany—and the controversies that surrounded its release. Our hosts will dissect the screenplay's sharp wit, memorable quotes, and the underlying messages that resonate even two decades later. We'll also dive into the cultural impact of Dogma, examining how it sparked conversations about spirituality, belief, and the nature of God. With guest appearances from film critics and theologians, we'll unpack the layers of meaning behind the film's narrative and its relevance in today's world. Whether you're a long-time fan of Kevin Smith or new to the film, this episode promises to be an enlightening journey through Dogma's irreverent yet poignant storytelling. Tune in for a blend of laughter, analysis, and a little divine inspiration!

Luis Muñoz lleva más de una década dirigiendo el programa de escritura creativa en español de la Universidad de Iowa, donde reside gran parte del año. Por eso, hay que aprovechar cuando está por aquí para echarle el lazo. Se da la circunstancia, además, de que acaba de publicar nuevo poemario, Un momento (Ed Visor), aunque para hablar con él no haría falta ningún pretexto, pues lo avalan más de treinta años de trayectoria que repasamos en su compañía.Luego Ignacio Elguero nos propone dos novelas: la nueva de Álvaro Pombo, que se titula El exclaustrado (Ed. Anagrama), y El factor Rachel (Ed. Libros del Asteroide), en la que la irlandesa Caroline O´Donoghue radiografía las ansiedades y aspiraciones de esa generación que ahora empieza a independizarse. Además, Javier Lostalé abre su ventanita poética a Argayu/Derrumbe, de la poeta, escritora y traductora asturiana Berta Piñán, que podemos leer en edición bilingüe gracias al sello Bartleby con traducción de la propia autora.En Peligro en La estación nuestro colaborador Sergio C. Fanjul pone sobre la mesa Cómo ser culto. La educación clásica que nunca recibiste (Ed. Península), ensayo de Susana Wise Bauer que nos ha hecho preguntarnos por la crisis de prestigio que podría estar sufriendo la cultura.Bajamos la persiana en compañía de Mariano Peyrou, que por una vez en lugar de desmontar el poema nos propone montarlo a partir de las anotaciones del francés Paul Valéry en Cuadernos (Ed. Galaxia Gutenberg), volumen que recoge medio siglo de reflexión en torno a la poesía. Escuchar audio

Lily is at Grey Gables on the phone to Mrs Mellor who is buying Bartleby. She wants to park her horse box there. Oliver tells Lily that Roy is staying in Bulgaria. Lily says the hotel can't run without him – at least it won't be the same. Oliver will have to manage until a replacement can be found. Lily says she finishes her placement next week. Later Oliver is struggling with printing staff rotas. Lily comes to the rescue. He proposes she take a paid position as his assistant until she goes to university. She was looking forward to some time off but agrees to consider it. But first she insists he sign her assessment. Harrison has a quick word with Chris over coffee. Chris is too busy with Martha to go to nets. George turns up with Harrison's veg box and reminds Chris about hoof trimming for Bartleby on Friday. They chat about Alice's not guilty plea and George leaves in a hurry. Harrison admits he has been so angry since Friday. He asks Chris if they can have a chat. It's awkward as Chris apologises about Fallon's miscarriage. Harrison grows irritable about Alice's not guilty plea and Chris would rather talk about anything else. George chats to a smartened-up Bartleby as Oliver and agrees to take their picture. They talk about what a wrench it will be when Bartleby leaves on Friday. Oliver says Mrs Mellor has already paid. Distracted by Gem, Bartleby isn't co-operating for the picture. George hopes they are on better form for Bartleby's farewell tour of the village tomorrow.

The life of a scrivener is an existence resigned to the handwritten copying of law documents. One day something clicks in Bartleby, and his simple reply to everything is: “I prefer not to.” Herman Melville, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.  Welcome to this Vintage Episode of The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening.  A Vintage Episode is released every Tuesday.

New stories are coming your way on Friday.  Keep an ear open for our Kickstarter for The Golden Triangle – the seventh novel in the Arsène Lupin series. We'll let you know when we're ready to kick off.  Today's story was published anonymously in 1853. Melville was in a bit of financial straits at the time, since his last two novels, Moby Dick and Pierre, didn't sell well at all.  Melville's major source of inspiration for the story was an advertisement for a new book, The Lawyer's Story, by James A. Maitland. This advertisement included the complete first chapter, which started: "In the summer of 1843, having an extraordinary quantity of deeds to copy, I engaged, temporarily, an extra copying clerk, who interested me considerably, in consequence of his modest, quiet, gentlemanly demeanor, and his intense application to his duties." Melville biographer Hershel Parker said nothing else in the chapter besides this "remarkably evocative sentence" was notable. It's never directly addressed why Bartleby acts the way he does, and the author has left it open to interpretation. Many critics posit that his behavior is due to depression.  And now, Bartleby, the Scrivener, by Herman Melville Follow this link to become a monthly supporter:   Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:   Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:   Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:   Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:

In this special episode, hosts Medaya Ocher, Kate Wolf, and Eric Newman discuss the case for and against giving up—on life, vices, dreams, creative pursuits, jobs, relationships, exercise, and work. Their conversation is inspired by Adam Phillips's recent book On Giving Up, in which the psychoanalyst observes that “we give things up when we believe we can change; we give up when we believe we can't.” The hosts discuss what is acceptable to give up, their own fears of failure, both fictional and real-life inspirational quitters, and whether Bartleby was onto something when he said he'd prefer not to.

Eddie is in good mood. He has borrowed the fortune telling booth from the Ambridge fete. He is giving it a coat of paint and tells Will he is working on the next stage of The Bartleby Experience. He plans to charge people for a special message from Bartleby. Will is concerned how George will react. Later George turns up and tells Eddie he wants the sign he has put up removed. When Eddie tells him about the booth, George says they are wrecking a social media sensation. He storms off, shouting that the sign and the booth must go. Later, as George threatens to take a hammer to the booth, Eddie tells him visitors paid £30 a time for messages from Bartleby. Will plays peacemaker, insisting that Eddie must split the cash and that George must use his share of the windfall to do something good - like taking his mother out for a meal. Alice bumps into Jakob at the shop while he's buying ingredients for a meal Kate is cooking this evening for Miranda and Brian. He's not looking forward to it and persuades Alice to come along. That evening, Alice promises not to interrogate Miranda like Kate did. Brian jokes there could be knock at the door at any moment, and another member of the Aldridge clan turn on the doorstep. The meal is a success and they press gang Miranda into their pub quiz team for tomorrow night at The Bull.

Alistair is clipping Monty's claws as he and Robert agree what an asset Denise is to the vet's practice. They chat about Sunday's cricket win over Darrington and Linda's worry that she might not get enough volunteers to prepare the teas for the T20 match during May Bank Holiday weekend. Jim arrives with Alistair's forgotten packed lunch. They agree to meet for a drink later at The Bull. Robert remarks how happy Alistair seems these days and says he might adopt a similar approach to working with Lynda. Instead of getting annoyed, he's going to focus on him and Lynda being a team. Later at The Bull, Jim offers to help Robert with his ancient mystery puzzle and they agree to make a night of it. Alistair joins them and, while Robert is at the bar, Jim says he will be spending the night at Ambridge Hall and Alistair should take the opportunity to spend some time alone with Denise. George is not happy about Eddie's sign advertising Bartleby The Talking Horse. Eddie thinks they're on to a financial winner if they charge people to visit and take pictures with the pony. Linda arrives for a chat - with Bartleby (the cause celebre) – prompting an indignant protest from George that Bartleby talks about people, not to them. They risk damaging his brand. Eddie sharply points to George that were it not for his idea there would be no brand. George sulkily posts Bartleby and Linda's gossipy video about a dancing vet but soon changes his tune when it starts racking up thousands of views.

Worried George plays Jakob a video of Bartleby and asks the vet to look at him. Jakob spots the evidence of Bartleby not eating properly and decides on a change of treatment and a special diet. George worries about the cost and tries to secure a free prescription in return for some social media publicity. Jakob reminds George to focus on animal welfare, not publicity. Without the care Jakob recommends, he doesn't see Bartleby surviving another winter. Kenton has a surprise to perk Jolene up. He's come up with an idea for a special Easter community event. An easter egg hunt crossed with an egg and spoon relay race. He explains the details and Jolene wryly tells him to focus on his recovery. But he has it covered – Jolene is going to take centre stage to run the event. But she says no. Kenton's disappointed he hasn't cheered Jolene up. Elizabeth pops in and Kenton opens up about distant and distracted Jolene. Elizabeth shuts Kenton down when he mentions that Jolene seems panicky about money. He asks Elizabeth to cheer Jolene up, and Jolene works this out, but enjoys Elizabeth's company. Elizabeth asks Jolene about the Kenton attack investigation, and Jolene puts her off asking Harrison for an update, with Elizabeth changing topic to Kenton's complicated Easter event plans. Jolene will surely host and adjudicate? Jolene says no, but as Elizabeth offers a pep talk Jolene remembers working the crowds in the past and starts to gee herself up. Okay, she won't hide away any longer. Elizabeth's delighted.

Robert's on edge attending to breakfast for fussy B&B guests the Philpotts. Lynda calmly encourages Robert to take himself off and find something to distract himself and restore his usual amiability. Robert stumbles upon George with Bartleby the pony and George's ears prick up as Robert jokes about Bartleby being the oldest horse in the world. When Robert shares some initial research with George about the oldest living horse, George gets excited by the idea that the ‘title' could be vacant. Lynda finds them and warns Robert not to encourage George. Robert admits that he wasn't in the mood for bird watching, and Lynda realises he needs a new hobby to keep him busy – but what? Kate checks with Brian that Alice is ok. Brian is glad Alice reached out to him and she seemed happier yesterday. Kate reckons she had suspicions about Harry from the start. Kate quizzes Brian on where he was on Friday, looking very smart. Just a Rotary club dinner, he says, changing the subject. Kate finds Alice, who insists she's fine, and they realise that Brian told them different stories about his whereabouts. Kate thought he was acting strangely earlier, and he's been rather ‘perky' lately – could it be down to a woman? Kate puts Brian on the spot and he admits he has been seeing someone, but it's over - he didn't want to upset his daughters over Jenny. Alice encourages her Dad to follow his own advice to her and live his life. Kate agrees, and Brian's left pondering rearranging a date – but says let's just see how it goes.

 Throughout my journey, including stumbles and triumphs, it's become clear that the pursuit of physical fitness transcends the mere chase for a chiseled physique—it is deeply rooted in our quest for meaning. On the latest episode of Mind Muscle, I invite you to engage with me, Simon Devere, as we unravel the intricate tapestry that weaves together our fitness endeavors with the philosophical insights of Viktor Frankl and Friedrich Nietzsche. Through anecdotes and reflective musings, we'll explore the diverse motivations behind why we work out, and how uncovering a meaningful 'why' can profoundly influence our 'how.'The conversation doesn't halt at philosophical parallels; it extends into the nitty-gritty of everyday life and the sometimes overlooked importance of exercise for holistic well-being. Think of the familiar struggle to juggle personal care with the demands of parenting—like my friend Bartleby's tale, which underscores the significance of maintaining one's health amidst life's relentless pace. It's here that I share my own dance with depression and how fitness became my partner in navigating toward brighter days. Moreover, we'll traverse the social landscape of fitness, pondering how our sweat-soaked endeavors can foster connections, build communities, and translate discipline into success beyond the gym walls.Finally, we're called to recognize the impact of our health choices not only on ourselves but on the world around us, particularly the young eyes that look to us for guidance. In this episode, I reflect on the deep satisfaction that accompanies the positive influence we can exert on others' health journeys. Coupled with the encouragement to actively engage in our local communities for tangible change, we conclude with an acknowledgment of the symbiotic growth of both intellect and physique. Join me in a candid discussion that promises to challenge and inspire, as we collectively seek a richer, more meaningful approach to fitness.Producer: Thor BenanderEditor: Luke MoreyIntro Theme: Ajax BenanderIntro: Timothy DurantFor more, visit Simon at The Antagonist

The panel discusses Melville's short story, "Bartleby, the Scrivener", and examines the symbolism of its characters, the meaning of Bartleby's passive resistance, and the various interpretations of the work in light of history and literary theory.Continue reading

The prospect of a world without work - that was the vision offered up by Elon Musk this month. The US tech billionaire has predicted that artificial intelligence will eventually mean that no one will have to work. Mr Musk suggested that society could reach a point where “no job is needed” and “you can do a job if you want a job, but the AI will do everything”. Contrasting with the idea of the zero-hour working week, Indian software billionaire and Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy - says that young people should be ready to work 70 hours a week to help the country's development. Since the pandemic, many companies allow their employees to work from home. Others have moved to a four-day working week, citing benefits such as increased productivity and significant financial savings for employees on transport and childcare. But some employers insist the shorter working week doesn't work - saying employees ended up having more stressful workdays, and feeling exhausted once they reached their scheduled days off. How many hours should a person work in a week? Is a world without work desirable? If AI will be capable of doing many jobs, should employees be fearing the future - or take advantage of these changes, and strive for new ways of working? What's the future of work?
