Authors of the 20th Century
Immediately after the cease of the Second World War the society started to consider that the world’s main rules are clear and coherent . Both general politics and social relations were counting on the thoughts of development, good changes , faith in science , enlightenment , technical progress , and the ability to substantiate any happening from a rational viewpoint . Nevertheless , beginning from the second half of the 60’s, the world began to change and currently , 40 years thereafter , we live in a changed type of existence .
We effortlessly mark those innovations which are given us by new technology, but we barely come to realize the fact that there are some thoughts which the author has put behind those inventions . The core of the future change was at first tracked by those people, who more often than not lived anteceding their time – philosophers and authors. Among the numerous authors whose poems have served for amusement , there have been a few who have given the planet a new picture of the future . They have more effectively than others other people formed and formulated new thoughts and have in the end done a new intelligent and emotional grounding of the future. They have noted problems in the mundane of our lives and have unveiled a array of problems, which were existing without being noticed . They have assisted us to think of the new issues , and sent us new ambitions .
These were the authors who have shaped the minds of the entire generation, which has live through the times of drastic change; change, which was perceived as chaos at the start of the 21 first century. They have turned our attention to the most vital problems of the previous century; those issues , which the people , having gone through the global wars and wild number of deaths, was reluctant to meet . In the end they were raising the most critical issue “How will we live in the world of future?”
In this work we will name several of the most prominent writers of the 20th century. They have all much affected literature of their period, have revealed trends and difficulties which were relevant to their people and the times they existed in, and have motivated the readers meditate on the real system of values, having them understand that it is far from being perfect. One of the most fascinating aspects of their work is that in mostly they have evoked the person’s attention in books and written works. in this case one of the most exciting success writings is that of a brilliant writer John Cheever.
The achievement of Joan Rowling can be named unique as she has become the first writer in the world to earn $1 billion by writing fairytales. She is currently spending a significant part of her earnings 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 decided to publish her book, she has given her 1500 pounds together with a loving piece of advice — to look for a stable job. He was hesitant of the fact that the young author would be able to make money of writing. Joann has showed the opposite - having written a number of unparalleled fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading.
This work is not able to name and more or less accurately list all writers who have made their contribution to the world’s literature. They have been working and presenting ideas directly into the heads of the millions, and therefore were shaping the future. Thus, as we can see, these authors were not writing for enjoyment only, but they were also playing a considerable part in shaping the culture and the sights of a society of the 20th century.
