Authors of the 20th Century
Immediately after the denouement of the Second World War the society started to consider that the world’s ground values are simple and consistent . Both general politics and social relations were counting on the concepts of progress , good change , faith in the rational , awareness , technical advancement , and the knowledge of how to explain any phenomenon from a logical viewpoint . Notwithstanding , beginning from the second half of the 60’s, the world has begun to change and currently , 40 years after , we dwell in a transformed kind of actuality .
We without any problems spot all advancements which are given us by new technology, but we seldom comprehend the fact that there are concrete concepts which the author has put behind those solutions . The nature of the upcoming adjustment was initially tracked by those people, who as a rule of thumb lived ahead of their time – poets and authors. Among the many authors whose books have served for amusement , there have been a few who have given the humankind a new vision . They have better than others other authors shaped and voiced fresh suggestions and have in the end molded a new intelligent and emotional grounding of the future. They have seen issues in the mundane of our lives and have opened a number of problems, which were going on without being spotted . They have helped us to realize the new challenges , and have given us new aspirations .
These were the authors who have formed the minds of the entire generation, which has observed the period of cardial change; change, which was viewed as anarchy at the dawn of the 21 first century. They have attracted our attention to the most burning issues of the previous era ; those dilemmas , which the humankind , having lived through the global wars and wild number of deaths, was afraid to face . Lastly they were formulating the the most topical dilemma “What will our future look like?”
In this work we will mention some of the most prominent authors of the last century. They have all greatly influenced literature of their time, have offered looks and dilemmas which were normal to their countries and the period they existed in, and have motivated the audience think about the existing philosophy of values, having them realize that it is far away from being genuine. One of the most important feature of their writing is that in mostly they have awake the readers’ interest in books and written works. in this case one of the most exciting success writings is that of a famous writer Lewis Carroll .
The success of Joan Rowling can be named special as she has found herself to be the first author in the world to make $1 billion by writing fairytales. She is currently spending a great part of her money on charity, confronting 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 agreed to print her book, she has given her 1500 pounds together with a kind advice — to find a stable job. He was incredulous of the fact that the young author would be able to make money of writing books. Joann has proved the opposite - having created a series of unparalleled fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading.
This work cannot name and more or less exactly list all authors who have given their contribution to the world’s literature. They have been writing and putting ideas directly into the thoughts of the millions, and in this way were influencing the future. Thus, as we can see, these writers were not writing for enjoyment only, but they were also playing a considerable part in molding the culture and the looks of a civilization of the 20th century.
