Summary of the book "Manhattan" Dos Passos J.:John Dos Passos (1896-1970) was an American writer of Portuguese origin, novelist, playwright and essayist, who became a classic of US literature during his lifetime. His unique creative handwriting and courage in search of new forms earned him fame as an experimental artist, and the works he created represent a unique panorama of American life at the dawn of the 20th century. The main work and the pinnacle of Dos Passos's work is the monumental epic "USA". The novel "Manhattan" is one of the most important in the work of Dos Passos and one of his most daring experiments. The chain of chaotically linked destinies in the boiling cauldron of a purposeful, energetic, but indifferent and cruel city — the matrix of all megacities in the world — creates an unusually acute sense of time between the "panic of 1893", which ended the "gilded age" of reconstruction after the civil war of the North and South, and the colossal stock market crash of 1929, plunging the country into the Great Depression. The roaring twenties, a time of modernization, rapid development and the most daring experiments. At one time, the novel aroused the interest of Sergei Eisenstein, whose work obviously influenced Dos Passos. But subsequently, the writer made revelations about the activities of the GPU in Spain, and his works were inaccessible to Soviet readers for many decades; the translator of the novel, Valentin Stenich, was shot in 1938.
