Authors of the 20th Century
Directly after the denouement of the Second World War people began to think that the world’s basic rules are simple and logical . Both world politics and social relations were depending on the concepts of gain , beneficial change , confidence in science , understanding , technological innovations , and the potential to ground any phenomenon from a analytical viewpoint . Notwithstanding , starting from the second half of the 60’s, the world has begun to degrade and now , 40 years later , we dwell in a changed kind of actuality .
We effortlessly note those innovations which are brought to us by new technology, but we barely come to realize the fact that there are some ideas standing behind those inventions . The core of the upcoming adjustment was initially tracked by those people, who as a rule of thumb lived anteceding their time – philosophers and authors. Among the many authors whose books have served for pleasure , there have been a few who have given people a new vision . They have better than others other people molded and voiced authentic ideas and have finally molded a fresh intellectual and perceptual analysis of the future. They have seen issues in the mundane of our lives and have shed light onto a number of problems, which were dragging on without being noted . They have aided us to realize the new challenges , and gave us new ambitions .
These were the authors who have shaped the thoughts of the entire generation, which has taken the blow of drastic change; change, which was viewed as chaos at the dawn of the 21 first century. They have attracted our attention to the most problematic issues of the last era ; those questions , which the humankind , having survived through the global wars and wild violence , was reluctant to face . Finally they were formulating the the most topical dilemma “What will happen in the future”?
In this paper we will name several of the most prominent authors of the last century. They have all quite influenced literature of their epoch, have reflected trends and dilemmas which were classic to their countries and the period they lived in, and have motivated the audience think about the real ideology of values, having them realize that it is far away from being genuine. One of the most fascinating aspects of their work is that in most cases they have risen the readers’ interest in books and written works. from this angle one of the most interesting success writings is that of a well known author Anne Bronte .
The success of Joan Rowling can be called phenomenal as she has found herself to be the first writer in the world to earn $1 billion by authoring fairytales. She is now spending a extensive part of her money on charity, fighting poverty and diseases. The plot of the book was invented 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 permanent job. He was hesitant of the idea that the young author would be able to make a living off of writing. Joann has proved the opposite - having written a number of unparalleled fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading.
This paper cannot enumerate and more or less precisely list all writers who have offered their contribution to the world’s literature. They have been writing and bringing ideas exactly into the thoughts of the millions, and in this way were influencing the future. Thus, as we can see, these authors were not creating 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.
