Authors of the 20th Century
Immediately after the cessation of the Second World War the society commenced to consider that the world’s basic values are clear and justifiable . Both global politics and social relations were depending on the concepts of progress , good changes , belief in the logical , awareness , innovations , and the ability to substantiate any phenomenon from a analytical standpoint . However , starting from the second half of the 60’s, the world began to change and currently , 40 years after , we dwell in a changed type of existence .
We easily notice those innovations which are brought to us by new technology, but we barely realize the fact that there are specific ideas which the author has put behind those inventions . The essence of the upcoming change was initially tracked by those people, who as a rule of thumb lived ahead of their time – poets and authors. Among the numerous authors whose poems have served for pleasure , there have been several of them who have given the planet a new picture of the future . They have better than others other authors created and voiced new ideas and have in the end created formed a fresh intellectual and emotional grounding of the future. They have noted issues in the mundane of our lives and have opened a array of problems, which were dragging on without being noticed . They have aided us to think of the new problems , and have given us new ambitions .
These were the authors who have formed the minds of the entire generation, which has observed the period of cardial change; change, which was seen as disarray at the dawn of the 21 first century. They have attracted our attention to the most tormenting dilemmas of the past era ; those issues , which the humankind , having gone through the global wars and unseen number of deaths, was afraid to face . Lastly they were raising the main question “What will our future be like?”
In this work we will mention several of the most prominent writers of the 20th century. They have all greatly affected literature of their epoch, have manifested trends and dilemmas which were classic to their society and the period they lived in, and have motivated the readers think about the existing set of values, having them understand that it is far from being ideal. One of the most important angle of their work is that in often they have risen the people attention in books and written matter. In this aspect one of the most exciting success works is that of a well known author Anne Bronte .
The success of Joan Rowling can be called unique as she has found herself to be the first writer in the world to make $1 billion by authoring fairytales. She is currently spending a huge part of her money on charity, fighting poverty and illness. The plot of the book was found while she was on the train from Manchester to London. When the publisher has first decided to publish her book, she has awarded her 1500 pounds together with a kind advice — to look for a stable job. He was unaware of the fact that the young writer would be able to make money of writing. Joann has proved the opposite - having produced a number of unparalleled fairytales, she has motivated the so-called non-reading people get back to reading books.
This work cannot enumerate and more or less precisely list all authors who have made their gift to the world’s literature. They have been working and bringing ideas exactly into the heads of the millions, and thus were shaping the future. therefore, as we can see, these writers were not writing for entertainment only, but they were also playing a significant part in shaping the culture and the vision of a society of the 20th century.
