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.
如果恐怖分子也有闲情读书,那么,本拉登的信徒们在胁持飞机撞向世贸大厦时,他们的左口袋里别着一把刀或枪,右口袋里可能会兜着一本怀特的《这就是纽约》。“纽约最微妙的变化,人人嘴上不讲,但人人心里明白。这座城市,在它漫长历史上,第一次有了毁灭的可能。只须一小队形...
评分 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New York City, here is New York. It is a city of isolation, a city of loneliness and most importantly a city of tolerance. Gone are the old days. Just like what Maugham said, some people are always looking for their final destination. It's a curse, and a ...
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...
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……
