Authors of the 20th Century
Right after the denouement of the Second World War the public began to think that the world’s ground principles are simple and logical . Both general politics and social relations were counting on the concepts of development, good change , belief in the rational , awareness , technical advancement , and the potential to reason any activity from a analytical viewpoint . Notwithstanding , starting from the second half of the 60’s, the world began to degrade and currently , 40 years later , we dwell in a transformed kind of actuality .
We easily notice all changes which are given us by new technology, but we barely come to realize the fact that there are certain ideas standing behind those technological solutions. The core of the future change was first found by those people, who as a rule lived ahead of their time – writers and authors. Among the multiple authors whose works have served for amusement , there have been several of them who have given the planet a new vision . They have better than others other authors formed and worded fresh thoughts and have finally done a brand new intelligent and emotional substantiation of the future. They have spotted challenges in the mundane of our lives and have unveiled a number of problems, which were existing without being spotted . They have helped us to become aware of the new problems , and have given us new ambitions .
These were the authors who have shaped the mindset of the entire generation, which has observed the period of drastic change; change, which was seen as anarchy at the dawn of the 21 first century. They have made us focus our attention to the most tormenting problems of the past era ; those problems , which the people , having lived through the world wars and unprecedented violence , was reluctant to deal with . Lastly they were voicing the most critical issue “How will we live in the world of future?”

The success of Joan Rowling can be considered phenomenal as she has found herself to be the first writer in the world to earn $1 billion by publishing fairytales. She is currently spending a noticeable part of her earnings on charity, confronting 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 print her book, she has given her 1500 pounds together with a friendly advice — to look for a permanent job. He was unaware of the fact that the young author would be able to make money of writing. Joann has proved the opposite - having published a series of exceptional fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading books.
This work is not able to name and more or less accurately list all writers who have offered their gift to the world’s literature. They have been working and presenting ideas exactly into the heads of the millions, and in this way were influencing the future. Thus, as we can see, these authors were not writing for relaxation only, but they were also playing a significant role in shaping the culture and the perception of a society of the 20th century.
