Elwyn Brooks White was a leading American essayist, author, humorist, poet and literary stylist and author of such beloved children's classics as Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan. He graduated from Cornell University in 1921 and, five or six years later, joined the staff of The New Yorker magazine. He authored over seventeen books of prose and poetry and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1973.
Funnily enough for such a famous writer, he always said that he found writing difficult and bad for one's disposition but he kept at it!
Mr. White has won countless awards, including the 1971 National Medal for Literature and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, which commended him for making “a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children.”
Perceptive, funny, and nostalgic, E.B. White's stroll around Manhattan remains the quintessential love letter to the city, written by one of America's foremost literary figures. The New York Times has named Here is New York one of the ten best books ever written about the metropolis, and The New Yorker calls it "the wittiest essay, and one of the most perceptive, ever done on the city.
E.B. White's underground classic, and one of the most beautifully written, accurate portrayals of the world's most diverse and interesting city.
认识怀特,是从他的散文集《这就是纽约》和《重游缅湖》开始的。在今年的这个难熬夏天里,因了在书店里与怀特作品的一次不期而遇,便不由自主地被这透着诙谐的、干净而充满温暖的文字所吸引,以致于忘记了室外的酷热与喧嚣。 E.B怀特,美国作家,1963年获美国肯尼迪总统颁予的...
评分随笔这种文体,按作者自己所说,确实只能算是二等文学艺术。是呀!虽然我们都很喜爱读随笔,但要是我们买起藏书来,总是喜欢小说、哲学、社会学等等。很难得清一色的随笔。这种文体只适合在一个悠闲或者无聊的午后,拿起来了读一读,打发点时间或者消磨一下心情。好吧。我是出...
评分 评分1975年,正是美国历史上最糟的几个时刻之一。“时代变了,地球上百弊丛生,人人都沮丧,焦虑,甚至绝望”。“事变和凶兆层出不穷”,核危机,油价飞涨,失业,所有的事儿都搅在一起,“让人头晕目眩”。1938年一把19美元的种子,也涨到了67美金。 你以为世界就要结束了,可是...
评分It took me a while to realize the man who wrote Here is New York also wrote Charlotte’s Web. But soon I realized another thing—a good writer writes well with any genre. Obviously E.B. White is more than a good writer, because he inspires. I came across C...
写得像诗又像歌词 虽然我本人不喜欢ny 但看完可以清楚感觉到并有点理解作者对城市的热爱
评分NY.NY.NY.
评分New Yorkers都未必能完全领会,何况outsiders
评分给城市的情书。一半小时就看完了。我觉得我要写北京都能比他写的好。但是不影响纽约在我心里的holy city的地位。
评分commuters give the city its tidal restlessness. natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.
