Authors of the 20th Century
Directly after the denouement of the Second World War the public began to think that the world’s ground principles are simple and logical . Both global politics and social relations were depending on the thoughts of development, beneficial changes , confidence in science , awareness , technical progress , and the ability to ground any happening from a rational point of view . Notwithstanding , starting from the second half of the 60’s, the world commenced to change and currently , 40 years after , we dwell in a new type of reality .
We without any problems mark all changes which are given us by new technology, but we seldom are aware of the fact that there are concrete concepts which the author has put behind those solutions . The core of the future change was first tracked by those people, who as a rule lived ahead of their time – philosophers and authors. Among the multiple authors whose poems have served for pleasure , there have been several of them who have given the planet a new picture of the future . They have better than others other people formed and worded authentic thoughts and have finally created formed a fresh intelligent and emotional analysis of the future. They have seen challenges in the mundane of our lives and have opened a set of problems, which were existing without being spotted . They have aided 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 dramatic change; change, which was viewed as mayhem at the start of the 21 first century. They have attracted our attention to the most burning questions of the last epoch ; those dilemmas , which the people , having lived through the world wars and unprecedented number of deaths, was unwilling to meet . In the end they were raising the most important issue “How will we live in the world of future?”
In this work we will mention several of the most well known writers of the last century. They have all significantly affected literature of their period, have showed looks and dilemmas which were normal to their countries and the period of time they lived in, and have motivated the readers meditate on the existing philosophy of moral, having them understand that it is far from being ideal. One of the most exciting feature of their work is that in most cases they have awake the people attention in books and written works. from this angle one of the most exciting success stories is that of a brilliant author Lewis Carroll .
The achievement of Joan Rowling can be named special as she has become the first writer in the world to make $1 billion by writing fairytales. She is today spending a great part of her profit on charity, battling poverty and illness. The idea of the book was found 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 loving piece of advice — to find a stable job. He was unaware of the idea that the young author would be able to make money of writing. Joann has showed the opposite - having produced a number of amazing fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading people get back to reading.
This article is not able to enumerate and more or less precisely list all writers who have provided their contribution to the today’s literature. They have been writing and putting ideas exactly into the thoughts of the people, and therefore were shaping the future. therefore, as we can see, these writers were not writing for relaxation only, but they were also playing a considerable role in molding the culture and the perception of a civilization of the 20th century.
