作者简介:
E.B. White, the author of twenty books of prose and poetry, was awarded the 1970 Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal for his children’s books, Stuart Little and Charlotte’s Web. This award is now given every three years "to an author or illustrator whose books, published in the United States, have, over a period of years, make a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children." The year 1970 also marked the publication of Mr. White’s third book for children, The Trumpet of the Swan, honored by The International Board on Books for Young People as an outstanding example of literature with international importance. In 1973, it received the Sequoyah Award (Oklahoma) and the William Allen White Award (Kansas), voted by the school children of those states as their "favorite book" of the year.
Born in Mount Vernon, New York, Mr. White attended public schools there. He was graduated from Cornell University in 1921, worked in New York for a year, then traveled about. After five or six years of trying many sorts of jobs, he joined the staff of The New Yorker magazine, then in its infancy. The connection proved a happy one and resulted in a steady output of satirical sketches, poems, essays, and editorials. His essays have also appeared in Harper’s Magazine, and his books include One Man’s Meat, The Second Tree from the Corner, Letters of E.B. White, The Essays of E.B. White and Poems and Sketches of E.B. White.
In 1938 Mr. White moved to the country. On his farm in Maine he kept animals, and some of these creatures got into his stories and books. Mr. White said he found writing difficult and bad for one’s disposition, but he kept at it. He began Stuart Little in the hope of amusing a six-year-old niece of his, but before he finished it, she had grown up.
For his total contribution to American letters, Mr. White was awarded the 1971 National Medal for Literature. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy named Mr. White as one of thirty-one Americans to receive the Presidential Medal for Freedom. Mr. White also received the National Institute of Arts and Letters’ Gold Medal for Essays and Criticism, and in 1973 the members of the Institute elected him to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a society of fifty members. He also received honorary degrees from seven colleges and universities. Mr. White died on October 1, 1985.
《夏洛的网》是一部可以与《小王子》相媲美的世界名著, 这部作品初版于1952年,至今已有20多种译文,发行近千万册。虽然作者书写的是一个童话故事,但他给人以无限温情、感动和憧憬,是一部给大人阅读的童话。怀特用柔韧无比的蜘蛛丝编织了一张理想的、温暖的、美丽的、爱的大网,感动着世界无数的读者。这是一个善良的弱者之间相互扶持的故事,除了爱、友谊之外,这篇极抒情的童话里,还有一分对生命本身的赞美与眷恋。
美国作家E.B.怀特1952年的作品《夏洛的网》1979年曾出版过,但现在已经很难见到了。“这些年来总是找不到活着的感觉,看了《夏洛的网》,才知道生活是什么。”
在朱克曼家的谷仓里,快乐地生活着一群动物,其中小猪威尔伯和蜘蛛夏洛建立了最真挚的友谊。然而,一个最丑恶的消息打破了谷仓的平静,威尔伯未来的命运竟是成为熏肉火腿。作为一只猪,悲痛绝望的威尔伯似乎只能接受任人宰割的命运了,然而,看似渺小的夏洛却说:“我救你”。于是,夏洛用自己的丝在猪栏上织出了被人类视为奇迹的网上文字,彻底逆转了威尔伯的命运,终于让它在集市的大赛中赢得特别奖,和一个安享天命的未来。但,这时,蜘蛛夏洛的生命却走到的尽头……
在《精灵鼠小弟》的作者、美国大作家EB怀特的笔下,夏洛用蜘蛛丝编织了一张爱的大网,这网挽救了威尔伯的生命,更激起你我心中无尽的爱与温情。
内容简介
An affectionate, sometimes bashful pig named Wilbur befriends a spider named Charlotte, who lives in the rafters above his pen。 A prancing, playful bloke, Wilbur is devastated when he learns of the destiny that befalls all those of porcine persuasion。 Determined to save her friend, Charlotte spins a web that reads“Some Pig,” convincing the farmer and surrounding community that Wilbur is no ordinary animal and should be saved。 In this story of friendship, hardship, and the passing on into time, E.B. White reminds us to open our eyes to the wonder and miracle often found in the simplest of things。
E.B. White’s enduring classic celebrates in style with the release of the Charlotte’s Web 5oth Anniversary Retrospective Edition。 The handsome volume sports a clothbound cover framing original jacket art; inside, Rosemary Wells adds country color to Garth Williams’s original b&w illustrations。 An afterword by Peter F. Neumeyer illuminates White’s life and work,including photographs of the author on his farm in Maine as well as pages from the seminal manuscript。
作者简介
EB怀特(1899-1985)生于纽约蒙特弗农,毕业于康奈尔大学。多年来他为《纽约人》杂志担任专职撰稿人。怀特是一位颇有造诣的散文家、幽默作家、诗人和讽刺作家。对于几代美国儿童来说,他之所以出名是因为写第一流的儿童读物 《精灵鼠小弟》(1945) 和 《夏洛的网》(1952)。一代又一代学生和作者熟悉他,因为他是 《风格的要素》这本书的合著者 (兼修订者)。该书是关于作文和惯用法的很有价值的小册子,最初由在康奈尔大学教过怀特英语的小威廉.斯特朗克教授撰写。散文 《自由》于1940年7月首先由《哈泼斯》杂志发表。当时美国尚未加入反对纳粹的战争,世界正处于纳粹──苏联条约的时期,无论左派或右派都忽略了极权主义对民主的威胁。这篇散文收入怀特的文集《一个人的肉食》(1942)。
