Authors of the 20th Century
Right after the cease of the Second World War the public began to believe that the world’s ground values are clear and consistent . Both global politics and social relations were counting on the concepts of advancement , beneficial change , faith in the rational , awareness , technical innovations , and the potential to substantiate any phenomenon from a rational viewpoint . Nevertheless , starting from the second half of the 60’s, the world has begun to degrade and now , 40 years thereafter , we live in a changed type of actuality .
We easily mark those changes which are brought to us by new technology, but we almost never realize the fact that there are certain concepts standing behind those solutions . The essence of the expected change was at first found by those people, who more often than not lived anteceding their time – philosophers and authors. Among the multiple authors whose masterpieces have served for entertainment , there have been a few who have given the humankind a new vision . They have better than others other people molded and formulated new ideas and have ultimately done a fresh intelligent and perceptual analysis of the future. They have noted challenges in the mundane of our lives and have shed light onto a number of problems, which were existing without being spotted . They have assisted us to become aware of the new challenges , and gave us new hope .
These were the authors who have formed the thoughts of the entire generation, which has observed the period of cardial change; change, which was seen as disarray at the start of the 21 first century. They have made us focus our attention to the most tormenting dilemmas of the previous era ; those questions , which the humankind , having lived through the global wars and unseen violence , was reluctant to deal with . In the end they were raising the the most topical issue “What will happen in the future”?
In this work we will mention several of the most prominent authors of the 20th century. They have all much affected literature of their time, have revealed trends and dilemmas which were essential to their countries and the times they lived in, and have motivated the readers think about the actual ideology of values, having them understand that it is far away from being perfect. One of the most important angle of their writing is that in often they have risen the people interest in books and written works. in this case one of the most exciting success works is that of a brilliant writer Lewis Carroll .
The success of Joan Rowling can be named phenomenal as she has found herself to be the first writer in the world to earn $1 billion by publishing fairytales. She is today spending a extensive part of her money on charity, battling poverty and diseases. The idea of the book was created while she was on the train from Manchester to London. When the publisher has first decided to print her book, she has awarded her 1500 pounds together with a friendly piece of advice — to find a stable job. He was doubtful of the idea that the young writer would be able to make money of writing. Joann has showed the opposite - having written a series of amazing fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading people get back to reading.
This work is not able to name and more or less accurately list all authors who have made their contribution to the nowadays literature. They have been writing and presenting ideas exactly into the thoughts of the millions, and therefore were shaping the future. Thus, as we can see, these writers were not creating for relaxation only, but they were also playing a significant part in creating the culture and the looks of a society of the 20th century.
