Authors of the 20th Century
Directly after the cessation of the Second World War the public started to think that the world’s basic values are understandable and consistent . Both global politics and social relations were counting on the principles of gain , positive changes , faith in the logical , enlightenment , technical innovations , and the potential to explain any activity from a logical standpoint . 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 transformed kind of existence .
We easily notice those innovations which are brought to us by new technology, but we barely are aware of the fact that there are certain thoughts standing behind those solutions . The core of the future change was at first spotted 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 amusement , there have been a few who have given the humankind a new vision . They have better than others other people molded and formulated fresh thoughts and have finally created formed a fresh intelligent and perceptual grounding of the future. They have noted challenges in the mundane of our lives and have shed light onto a array of problems, which were dragging on without being spotted . They have aided us to realize the new problems , and gave us new hope .
These were the authors who have shaped the thoughts of the entire generation, which has taken the blow of dramatic change; change, which was seen as chaos at the beginning of the 21 first century. They have attracted our attention to the most burning problems of the last era ; those dilemmas , which the humankind , having survived through the world wars and unprecedented number of deaths, was unwilling to meet . Finally they were formulating the main issue “How will we live in the world of future?”
In this work we will name some of the most popular writers of the 20th century. They have all significantly impacted literature of their time, have revealed trends and problems which were normal to their nations and the period they existed in, and have made the audience think about the running ideology of moral, having them realize that it is far from being perfect. One of the most important feature of their writing is that in most cases they have awake the audience attention in books and written matter. In this aspect one of the most interesting success stories is that of a brilliant writer Lewis Carroll .
The success of Joan Rowling can be named phenomenal as she has become the first author in the world to make $1 billion by publishing fairytales. She is now spending a extensive part of her earnings on charity, battling poverty and illness. The idea of the book was invented while she was on the train from Manchester to London. When the publisher has first decided to publish her book, she has given her 1500 pounds together with a friendly piece of advice — to look for a permanent job. He was hesitant of the fact that the young author would be able to make a living off of writing. Joann has showed the opposite - having produced a number of exceptional fairytales, she has motivated the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading books.
This work cannot enumerate and more or less precisely list all writers who have provided their contribution to the nowadays literature. They have been writing and putting ideas exactly into the thoughts of the people, and thus were shaping the future. Thus, as we can see, these authors were not writing for relaxation only, but they were also playing a considerable role in creating the culture and the vision of a civilization of the 20th century.
