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.”

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...

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.
妙不可言,妙不可言
评分But the city makes up for its hazards and its deficiencies by supplying its citizens with massive doses of a supplementary vitamin--the sense of belonging to something unique, cosmopolitan, mighty and unparalleled. 手抄或者熟读都不为过,写得太美。
评分第一次发现电子书的不好:不知道有多薄,还以为多便宜......
