Authors of the 20th Century
Right after the cessation of the Second World War the public started to feel that the world’s ground ethical foundations are simple and consistent . Both global politics and social relations were relying on the thoughts of development, beneficial change , belief in the logical , awareness , technical advancement , and the knowledge of how to reason any activity from a analytical standpoint . Nevertheless , beginning from the second half of the 60’s, the world began to deteriorate and now , 40 years later , we find ourselves in a transformed kind of actuality .
We easily mark all changes which are brought to us by new technology, but we almost never come to realize the fact that there are specific concepts which the author has put behind those inventions . The essence of the upcoming adjustment was at first noticed by those people, who as a rule of thumb lived ahead of their time – philosophers and authors. Among the many authors whose poems have served for entertainment , there have been a few who have given the planet a new picture of the future . They have better than others other authors shaped and formulated fresh suggestions and have ultimately created formed a brand new intelligent and emotional grounding of the future. They have noted issues in the mundane of our lives and have shed light onto a number of problems, which were going on without being noted . They have assisted us to become aware of the new issues , and gave us new aspirations .
These were the authors who have formed the vision of the entire generation, which has taken the blow of cardial change; change, which was perceived as anarchy at the beginning of the 21 first century. They have made us focus our attention to the most tormenting issues of the last century; those issues , which the humankind , having lived through the world wars and unprecedented sufferings , was afraid to face . Lastly they were formulating the main question “How will we live in the world of future?”
In this work we will mention some of the most popular writers of the 20th century. They have all significantly influenced literature of their epoch, have offered trends and problems which were classic to their countries and the period of time they existed in, and have made the audience meditate on the existing ideology of values, having them realize that it is far from being genuine. One of the most interesting aspects of their work is that in most cases they have risen the people attention in books and written matter. in this case one of the most exciting success stories is that of a brilliant author Lewis Carroll .
The success of Joan Rowling can be considered special as she has become the first writer in the world to earn $1 billion by authoring fairytales. She is now spending a considerable 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 decided to print her book, she has given her 1500 pounds together with a kind advice — to look for a permanent job. He was hesitant of the idea that the young author would be able to make money of writing books. Joann has proved the opposite - having produced a number of amazing fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading.
This work is not able to enumerate and more or less precisely list all authors who have made their contribution to the today’s literature. They have been working and presenting ideas exactly into the heads of the millions, and therefore were shaping the future. Thus, as we can see, these authors were not writing for entertainment only, but they were also playing a considerable role in molding the culture and the sights of a society of the 20th century.
