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.”
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 评分门口有一只蜘蛛,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...
评分我很喜欢纽约,原因是“Breakfast at Tiffany's”和“Sex and the City”。怀特是很有风格和绅士之气的作家,虽然我没见过他,但从他的文笔可以隐约看出他应该是一位有趣、有风度,常常面带善意微笑的老人。他笔下的纽约没有明确的地标,没有对The 5th Street、Empire State Bu...
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...
第一次发现电子书的不好:不知道有多薄,还以为多便宜......
评分New Yorkers都未必能完全领会,何况outsiders
评分棒,但是太短
评分White真的是會寫 也無愧於一個有情懷的作家 一番文字盡顯心意 。紐約 不免想望一個世界之都的模樣。BTW 讀散文 詞彙量不足真是硬傷啊……
评分写得太美 一封献给纽约的迷人情书
