Authors of the 20th Century
Directly after the denouement of the Second World War people started to believe that the world’s core rules are plain and justifiable . Both global politics and social relations were relying on the principles of progress , positive changes , confidence in the logical , awareness , technical innovations , and the ability to substantiate any phenomenon from a rational point of view . Nevertheless , beginning from the second half of the 60’s, the world commenced to degrade and now , 40 years later , we find ourselves in a transformed type of existence .
We effortlessly notice all changes which are given us by new technology, but we rarely are aware of the fact that there are some ideas which the author has put behind those technological solutions. The essence of the upcoming change was at first spotted by those people, who more often than not lived anteceding their time – poets and authors. Among the multiple authors whose works have served for pleasure , there have been several of them who have given the planet a new vision . They have better than others other people molded and formulated authentic ideas and have ultimately done a brand new intelligent and perceptual grounding of the future. They have noticed problems in the mundane of our lives and have opened a number of problems, which were going on without being noted . They have aided us to realize the new issues , and sent us new ambitions .
These were the authors who have formed the mindset of the entire generation, which has taken the blow of cardial change; change, which was viewed as anarchy at the beginning of the 21 first century. They have attracted our attention to the most problematic problems of the last century; those problems , which the humankind , having survived through the world wars and unprecedented sufferings , was afraid to meet . In the end they were voicing the the most topical issue “What will our future look like?”
In this paper we will specify several of the most well known writers of the last century. They have all much impacted literature of their epoch, have reflected looks and problems which were essential to their countries and the period of time they were living in, and have made the readers analyze the running ideology of values, having them realize that it is far away from being perfect. One of the most interesting angle of their writing is that in often they have awake the people attention in books and written works. from this angle one of the most exciting success writings is that of a famous author Lewis Carroll .
The success of Joan Rowling can be considered unique as she has become the first writer in the world to earn $1 billion by publishing fairytales. She is currently spending a great part of her earnings on charity, fighting poverty and illness. The idea of the book was created while she was on the train from Manchester to London. When the publisher has first agreed to bring out her book, she has awarded her 1500 pounds together with a kind piece of advice — to look for a stable job. He was hesitant of the idea that the young author would be able to make a living off of writing books. Joann has proved the opposite - having produced a series of exceptional fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading people get back to reading books.
This work cannot enumerate and more or less accurately list all writers who have provided their gift to the today’s literature. They have been writing and bringing ideas directly into the thoughts of the people, and therefore were shaping the future. Thus, as we can see, these authors were not creating for enjoyment only, but they were also playing a significant part in shaping the culture and the vision of a civilization of the 20th century.
