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.
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.”
在信息朝生暮死的年头,我不得不承认自己是后知道派分子,这是件很难为情的事,充分暴露出我的视觉广度狭隘和神经系统慢热。后果可想而知,我总在人家把一桩事烘烤到烂熟时才现身大放厥词。捧角儿从来都没有我的份,没在人堆里拊掌起哄我是乐此不疲,属于玩票的大多数。 上周...
评分读E.B.White <Here is New York>。写得真不错,这是一个能品尝出城市情绪的敏感的人。 纽约,这种文艺青年向往的地方有什么好呢?有很多人。有很多颓废的人。有很多怀旧的人。有很多失败的人。有很多成功的人。也有奸商、学者、技艺非凡,天才出挑的人。大多数人都只会是落寞...
评分如果纽约人对53年前写就的《这就是纽约》末尾的预言持有畏惧,911是否还会发生。 E.B.怀特1948年在这本随笔中写道:“在所有可能发动袭击的狂人的头脑中,纽约无疑有着持久的、不可抵挡的诱惑力”。“人人嘴上不讲,但心里明白,这座城市,在它漫长的历史上,第一次有...
评分 评分认识怀特,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...
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

评分很多地方半个世纪后读起来还是觉得非常贴切,但是文艺界涉及到的好多人我都没看太懂。这个城市真的还有太多值得淘值得理解的东西。I heart NY。
评分New Yorkers都未必能完全领会,何况outsiders
评分But the city makes up for its hazards and its deficiencies by supplying its citizens with massive doses of a supplementary vitamin--the sense of belonging to something unique, cosmopolitan, mighty and unparalleled. 手抄或者熟读都不为过,写得太美。
