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.
《GQ》“生活-LIFE”专栏 这半年里我喜欢的作家是E.B.怀特,闲来就翻翻他的书信集。他写的多半是在缅因州的农场里与15头羊、112只红母鸡、36只白岩母鸡、3只鹅、一条狗、一只雄猫、一头猪和一只笼鼠共度的日常生活。各种寻常小事他讲得温文尔雅,我读了之后,明白人家是真...
評分读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...
評分 評分 評分“有谁指望孤独或者私密,纽约将赐予他这类古怪的奖赏”。E•B•怀特在《这就是纽约》的开头这样写到。现在,如果把句子中“纽约”替换成“北京”,这句话也将继续表现出它的合理性。事实上,《这就是纽约》会让所有生活在大城市的人感同身受。读罢此文,我脑海中出...
寫得像詩又像歌詞 雖然我本人不喜歡ny 但看完可以清楚感覺到並有點理解作者對城市的熱愛
评分第一次發現電子書的不好:不知道有多薄,還以為多便宜......
评分But New Yorkers temperamentally do not crave comfort and convenience—if they did they would live elsewhere.
