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.

评分怀特的行文自有他的妙处,那是一种特别气定神闲。在他的文章中,我们也可以看到他的趣味,那是一种“名士气”。既独立,又不脱离现实。有批判,但观察多于批判。文章应该不轻易下结论的,结论应该让读者去下。怀特的文章极长,长到一篇文章可以发单行本。我们国内的散文作者大...
评分 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...
great prose.
评分better than most dense communities it succeeds in insulating the individual against all enormous and violent and wonderful events that are taking place every minute.
