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...
