Ex 59 Read the passage. Answer the questions. Retell (or write up) the passage in English.
Начало литературной деятельности Джека Лондона относится к последнему десятилетию XIX века. К этому времени в жизни Соединенных Штатов Америки произошли глубокие экономические и социальные перемены. Американский империализм вступил в свою последнюю, империалистическую стадию развития.
В США, как и в странах Запада, эпоха империализма ознаменовалась наступлением жестокой политической реакции и общим кризисом буржуазной культуры. Официальная буржуазная литература всячески отвлекала читателя от серьезных социальных вопросов, кормила его баснями о всеобщем благополучии и «равных возможностях» и исключала всякий намек на существование глубочайших общественных противоречий,
Лишь немногие писатели, среди которых прежде всего следует назвать имена М. Твена (Mark Twain), Ф. Норриса (Frank Norris), С. Крейна (Stephen Crane), Л. Стеффенса (Lincoln Steffens), Т. Драйзера (Theodore Dreiser), отстаивали правду и боролись за реалистическое искусство. Несомненно, что к этому прогрессивному лагерю американской литературы принадлежал и Лондон.
Творчество Лондона достигает наивысшего расцвета в 1905— 1910 гг. Писатель в этот период принимает активное участие в рабочем движении. Он восторженно приветствует русскую революцию 1905 г. Его многочисленные лекции и статьи, проникнутые глубокой верой в близкое торжество социалистической революции, сделали его популярнейшим писателем среди американских рабочих. В эти годы он создает свои лучшие произведения: сборники публицистических статей «Борьба классов» (War of the Classes) (1905), «Революция» (Revolution and Other Essays) (1908), романы «Железная пята» (The Iron Heel) (1907) и «Мартин Иден» (Martin Eden).
(Из предисловия П. Федунова к роману «Мартин Иден», 1953 г.)
