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.

很少看文學類的譯作,總覺得文字間要麼透著股自作聰明的翻譯味,讓我忍不住去還原原文;要麼麵目模糊,讓我完全不知道原作的風貌究竟如何。 這本卻是個意外的驚喜。作為中文,讀起來一點也不費勁,仿佛那些篇章本來就是用中文寫就,同時也很容易進入作者筆下紐約或是緬州的生...
評分懷特的行文自有他的妙處,那是一種特彆氣定神閑。在他的文章中,我們也可以看到他的趣味,那是一種“名士氣”。既獨立,又不脫離現實。有批判,但觀察多於批判。文章應該不輕易下結論的,結論應該讓讀者去下。懷特的文章極長,長到一篇文章可以發單行本。我們國內的散文作者大...
評分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 ...
評分如果紐約人對53年前寫就的《這就是紐約》末尾的預言持有畏懼,911是否還會發生。 E.B.懷特1948年在這本隨筆中寫道:“在所有可能發動襲擊的狂人的頭腦中,紐約無疑有著持久的、不可抵擋的誘惑力”。“人人嘴上不講,但心裏明白,這座城市,在它漫長的曆史上,第一次有...
評分門口有一隻蜘蛛,老是喜歡在那裏織網。可是我怨他織錯瞭地方,毀掉它的網,因為他擋瞭我的門口,阻擾我的進齣。但蜘蛛卻不屈不撓,一而再再而三的織它的網,但最終都毀在我手裏。作為人,我為瞭自己無煩擾,隻能舉起掃帚;作為蜘蛛,我覺得值得敬佩。因為網是蜘蛛的一切。 今...
