Authors of the 20th Century
Right after the cease of the Second World War the public started to deem that the world’s core values are understandable and logical . Both general politics and social relations were counting on the principles of progress , good change , trust in the rational , awareness , hi-tech progress , and the potential to ground any phenomenon from a analytical viewpoint . However , beginning from the second half of the 60’s, the world began to degrade and currently , 40 years after , we find ourselves in a different kind of reality .
We without any problems note those innovations which are given us by new technology, but we seldom realize the fact that there are some ideas which the author has put behind those technological solutions. The core of the future change was at first spotted by those people, who more often than not lived ahead of their time – writers and authors. Among the numerous authors whose books have served for entertainment , there have been several of them who have given the planet a new vision . They have better than others other authors created and formulated authentic ideas and have ultimately done a new intelligent and perceptual grounding of the future. They have found issues in the mundane of our lives and have unveiled a array of problems, which were going on without being noted . They have aided us to become aware of the new problems , and have given us new aspirations .
These were the authors who have determined the vision of the entire generation, which has observed the period of dramatic change; change, which was seen as anarchy at the start of the 21 first century. They have turned our attention to the most tormenting problems of the last epoch ; those dilemmas , which the people , having lived through the world wars and wild sufferings , was unwilling to deal with . Finally they were formulating the most critical question “How will we live in the world of future?”
In this paper we will name several of the most famous writers of the last century. They have all much influenced literature of their epoch, have offered looks and dilemmas which were typical to their people and the times they were living in, and have made the readers think about the existing system of values, having them realize that it is far from being ideal. One of the most important aspects of their writing is that in often they have awake the person’s attention in books and written works. from this angle one of the most interesting success stories is that of a brilliant author Anne Bronte .
The achievement of Joan Rowling can be called special as she has become the first author in the world to earn $1 billion by publishing fairytales. She is today spending a great part of her money on charity, fighting poverty and illness. 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 awarded her 1500 pounds together with a loving advice — to look for a permanent job. He was hesitant of the fact that the young writer would be able to make money of writing. Joann has proved the opposite - having created a series of exceptional fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading.
This paper is not able to name and more or less precisely list all writers who have offered their gift to the today’s literature. They have been working and presenting ideas exactly into the heads of the people, and in this way were shaping the future. Thus, as we can see, these authors were not writing for entertainment only, but they were also playing a significant part in creating the culture and the looks of a society of the 20th century.
