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.

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“有誰指望孤獨或者私密,紐約將賜予他這類古怪的奬賞”。E•B•懷特在《這就是紐約》的開頭這樣寫到。現在,如果把句子中“紐約”替換成“北京”,這句話也將繼續錶現齣它的閤理性。事實上,《這就是紐約》會讓所有生活在大城市的人感同身受。讀罷此文,我腦海中齣...
