During the 1950s and ’60s, writers E.B. White and Edmund Ware Smith carried on a long correspondence by letter, despite living only a few miles apart on the coast of Maine. Often the letters were written from one or the other while they were traveling, but missing their homes and friends. The letters represent a witty and charming correspondence between two literary giants, their stories of Maine, the beauty of our region, and the trials and tribulations of living here.Introduced by White's granddaughter, Martha White, the letters show their first formal communications, their chummy middle years, right up to the death of Edmund Ware Smith. Throughout, there is a strong sense of place and community.

Over more than fifty years at the New Yorker, E. B. White came to define a kind of ideal American prose: clear, casual, democratic, and urbane. He also did more than any writer to define his favourite city. His classic Here Is New York captured a moment in the life of Manhattan with precision and love—but his was no fleeting infatuation. In New York Sketches, the first collection of his casual pieces about the city, White ranges at whim from the nesting habits of pigeons to the aisles of a calculator trade-show on Eighth Avenue, from the behaviour of snails in aquariums to the ghosts of old romance that haunt a flower shop or a fire escape or an old hotel. These sketches, some less than a page long, many written for a laugh, or in response to the news of the day, show us White at his most playful and inventive.New York Sketches is a welcome diversion for every New Yorker—native, adoptive, or far from home—and a perfect introduction, not only to what White called “the inscrutable and lovely town,” but to the everyday enchantments of one of her fondest reporters.

“Jewels of observation . . . A world described in such loving detail overflows with wonders: The rigorous attention in Sketches is a kind of re-enchantment.” —Becca Rothfeld, The Washington PostNow in a beautiful hardcover gift edition: E.

Der poetische Kinderbuchklassiker von E.B. White über den begnadet Jazztrompete spielenden Schwan Louis und seine ungewöhnliche Freundschaft zu Sam, dem kleinen Jungen, macht das Gesamtwerk von White bei Diogenes komplett.

Er ist clever und einfach unvergesslich. Dabei ist er nur zehn Zentimeter groß. Klein Stuart – eine Maus mit Charakter. Hilfsbereit unterstützt er Familie Little, und tapfer übersteht er jede Begegnung mit Hauskater Schneeball. Als er eines Tages einen Ausflug macht, geschehen ungeheuerliche Dinge.

Wie die kleine Fern das Schweinchen Wilbur mit der Flasche aufzieht. Das aufregende Leben mit den anderen Tieren und die wunderbare Freundschaft zwischen Wilbur und der klugen Spinne Charlotte, die sogar dafür sorgt, daß Wilbur im ganzen Land berühmt wird.

E.B. White publicó su primer artículo en la para entonces recién fundada revista The New Yorker cuatro años después de graduarse en Artes por la Universidad de Cornell. En 1927 se unió a la plantilla de redactores. A lo largo de las siguientes seis décadas produjo una larga serie de ensayos y se convirtió en el más importante colaborador de la The New Yorker cuando esta era la más influyente revista literaria estadounidense. Su columna "Notas y comentarios" fue una de las más leídas en la historia de la publicación. Mientras varias generaciones crecían leyéndola, White la esculpía escrupulosamente. A través de sus publicaciones desarrolló las preocupaciones que acompañarían parte de su obra y su vida: el miedo a la guerra y a los fenómenos irracionales, el internacionalismo y el humor. Así, Ensayos de E. B. White es una lectura obligatoria, una recopilación de la excelencia hecha forma de la mano de uno de sus más grandes maestros y uno de los mejores exponentes de prosa contemporánea estadounidense.
