Authors of the 20th Century
Directly after the cessation of the Second World War the society commenced to consider that the world’s main rules are understandable and consistent . Both general politics and social relations were counting on the principles of advancement , beneficial changes , confidence in the rational , enlightenment , technical advancement , and the potential to explain any activity from a analytical viewpoint . Notwithstanding , starting from the second half of the 60’s, the world has begun to change and currently , 40 years after , we dwell in a different type of reality .
We easily spot those advancements which are brought to us by new technology, but we rarely are aware of the fact that there are concrete concepts standing behind those inventions . The nature of the expected adjustment was initially found by those people, who more often than not lived ahead of their time – philosophers and authors. Among the many authors whose poems have served for amusement , there have been several of them who have given the planet a new vision . They have better than others other people shaped and worded authentic thoughts and have finally molded a fresh intelligent and perceptual grounding of the future. They have found issues in the mundane of our lives and have opened a array of problems, which were existing without being noticed . They have aided us to become aware of the new challenges , and have given us new aspirations .
These were the authors who have shaped the thoughts of the entire generation, which has taken the blow of cardial change; change, which was seen as mayhem at the beginning of the 21 first century. They have turned our attention to the most burning issues of the past epoch ; those issues , which the humankind , having gone through the global wars and unseen sufferings , was afraid to deal with . Finally they were voicing the most important dilemma “What will happen in the future”?
In this paper we will mention several of the most well known writers of the 20th century. They have all greatly affected literature of their time, have offered tendencies and problems which were normal to their people and the times they were living in, and have made the readers meditate on the actual set of moral, having them understand that it is far away from being ideal. One of the most exciting feature of their writing is that in mostly they have risen the audience interest in books and written works. from this angle one of the most interesting success works is that of a famous author John Cheever.
The achievement of Joan Rowling can be considered phenomenal as she has become the first author in the world to make $1 billion by publishing fairytales. She is today spending a great 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 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 author would be able to make money of writing. Joann has demonstrated the opposite - having produced a series of unparalleled fairytales, she has motivated the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading.
This paper cannot enumerate and more or less accurately list all writers who have made their gift to the today’s literature. They have been writing and putting ideas exactly into the minds of the millions, and in this way were shaping the future. therefore, as we can see, these writers were not creating for enjoyment only, but they were also playing a considerable part in shaping the culture and the views of a civilization of the 20th century.
