This question is addressed to americans.

Why you don't say about your writers? I never seen kinda messages like these:
>hey! hey! Look at Jack London! This an AMERICAN writer!!!
>OH MY GOD! Edgar Allan Poe is a LEGEND!

I noticed one thing. When russians say about thier achivements they say about their GREATEST writers every time.

If you can answer to this question, please do it.

>why did you adress this question to americans?
Because they are shown in russian propaganda as main enemies.

>The taste for literary pleasures must be very small among a democratic people. In aristocracies the higher classes alone have leisure to cultivate their intellects and to amuse themselves with literary pleasures. In democracies the people are all occupied with practical life; they cannot bestow long hours on the disinterested pursuit of knowledge or on elegant literature.
