Authors of the 20th Century
Right after the denouement of the Second World War the public began to consider that the world’s main rules are simple and coherent . Both world politics and social relations were relying on the concepts of progress , beneficial changes , trust in the rational , awareness , technological progress , and the ability to ground any phenomenon from a analytical standpoint . Nevertheless , starting from the second half of the 60’s, the world commenced to deteriorate and currently , 40 years after , we find ourselves in a different type of reality .
We without any problems notice those innovations which are brought to us by new technology, but we infrequently come to realize the fact that there are concrete ideas which the author has put behind those technological solutions. The essence of the upcoming change was at first noticed by those people, who more often than not lived anteceding their time – writers and authors. Among the many authors whose poems have served for pleasure , there have been a few who have given the planet a new vision . They have better than others other people molded and formulated new ideas and have ultimately done a new intellectual and emotional grounding of the future. They have noted challenges in the mundane of our lives and have opened a number of problems, which were going on without being noted . They have helped us to think of the new issues , and have given us new ambitions .
These were the authors who have determined the minds of the entire generation, which has taken the blow of cardial change; change, which was seen as mayhem at the dawn of the 21 first century. They have attracted our attention to the most burning dilemmas of the previous era ; those questions , which the people , having survived through the global wars and wild number of deaths, was reluctant to face . In the end they were raising the most critical question “What will happen in the future”?
In this work we will specify some of the most famous writers of the 20th century. They have all quite impacted literature of their period, have manifested trends and problems which were typical to their countries and the period they were living in, and have motivated the readers think about the existing system of moral, having them realize that it is far away from being flawless. One of the most interesting aspects of their writing is that in mostly they have evoked the people attention in books and written works. from this angle one of the most exciting success stories is that of a famous author John Cheever.
The achievement of Joan Rowling can be called phenomenal as she has become the first writer in the world to earn $1 billion by publishing fairytales. She is currently spending a great part of her money on charity, confronting poverty and illness. The plot of the book was created 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 kind piece of advice — to find a stable job. He was incredulous of the idea that the young writer would be able to make a living off of writing. Joann has demonstrated the opposite - having produced a series of unparalleled fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading.
This work cannot name and more or less exactly list all writers who have made their gift to the today’s literature. They have been writing and presenting ideas exactly into the minds of the people, and therefore were influencing the future. therefore, as we can see, these writers were not creating for relaxation only, but they were also playing a significant part in creating the culture and the perception of a civilization of the 20th century.
