Authors of the 20th Century
Right after the end of the Second World War people started to feel that the world’s ground values are plain and consistent . Both world politics and social relations were depending on the ideas of progress , good changes , confidence in the logical , enlightenment , advancement , and the potential to substantiate any activity from a rational viewpoint . Notwithstanding , beginning from the second half of the 60’s, the world has begun to change and now , 40 years after , we live in a different kind of existence .
We without any problems notice all innovations which are brought to us by new technology, but we infrequently are aware of the fact that there are specific thoughts which the author has put behind those technological solutions. The nature of the upcoming change was at first found by those people, who as a rule of thumb lived anteceding their time – poets and authors. Among the numerous authors whose masterpieces have served for pleasure , there have been several of them who have given the humankind a new vision . They have better than others other authors created and worded fresh suggestions and have in the end done a fresh intelligent and emotional substantiation of the future. They have seen problems in the mundane of our lives and have shed light onto a number of problems, which were dragging on without being spotted . They have assisted us to think of the new challenges , and gave us new hope .
These were the authors who have formed the thoughts of the entire generation, which has taken the blow of dramatic change; change, which was seen as chaos at the dawn of the 21 first century. They have turned our attention to the most vital issues of the last era ; those problems , which the people , having lived through the global wars and unprecedented number of deaths, was afraid to face . Finally they were raising the most critical question “How will we live in the world of future?”
In this work we will name several of the most prominent authors of the last century. They have all greatly influenced literature of their time, have depicted tendencies and problems which were normal to their nations and the period they were living in, and have made the audience meditate on the running set of moral, having them understand that it is far away from being genuine. One of the most interesting feature of their work is that in often they have awake the people interest in books and written matter. from this angle one of the most exciting success writings is that of a well known author John Cheever.
The success of Joan Rowling can be named phenomenal as she has become the first writer in the world to earn $1 billion by authoring fairytales. She is now spending a significant part of her earnings on charity, battling poverty and diseases. The idea of the book was created 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 loving advice — to find a permanent job. He was unaware of the fact that the young author would be able to make a living off of writing. Joann has showed the opposite - having written a number of exceptional fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading books.
This paper is not able to name and more or less accurately list all writers who have provided their gift to the nowadays literature. They have been working and putting ideas directly into the thoughts of the people, and in this way were shaping the future. Thus, as we can see, these authors were not creating for relaxation only, but they were also playing a considerable role in shaping the culture and the vision of a civilization of the 20th century.
