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.”
门口有一只蜘蛛,老是喜欢在那里织网。可是我怨他织错了地方,毁掉它的网,因为他挡了我的门口,阻扰我的进出。但蜘蛛却不屈不挠,一而再再而三的织它的网,但最终都毁在我手里。作为人,我为了自己无烦扰,只能举起扫帚;作为蜘蛛,我觉得值得敬佩。因为网是蜘蛛的一切。 今...
评分很少看文学类的译作,总觉得文字间要么透着股自作聪明的翻译味,让我忍不住去还原原文;要么面目模糊,让我完全不知道原作的风貌究竟如何。 这本却是个意外的惊喜。作为中文,读起来一点也不费劲,仿佛那些篇章本来就是用中文写就,同时也很容易进入作者笔下纽约或是缅州的生...
评分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...
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。

评分“Many of its settlers are probably here merely to escape, not face, reality."
评分commuters give the city its tidal restlessness. natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.
