Authors of the 20th Century
Directly after the cessation of the Second World War the public began to think that the world’s ground rules are understandable and coherent . Both politics and social relations were depending on the principles of advancement , positive change , faith in the logical , understanding , hi-tech progress , and the knowledge of how to reason any phenomenon from a logical point of view . Notwithstanding , starting from the second half of the 60’s, the world began to change and now , 40 years thereafter , we dwell in a new type of reality .
We without any problems notice those changes which are given us by new technology, but we infrequently comprehend the fact that there are concrete ideas standing behind those inventions . The core of the future change was initially noticed by those people, who more often than not lived ahead of their time – poets and authors. Among the many authors whose books have served for amusement , there have been a few who have given people a new picture of the future . They have more effectively than others other authors shaped and worded authentic thoughts and have ultimately molded a new intelligent and perceptual grounding of the future. They have seen problems in the mundane of our lives and have shed light onto a set of problems, which were existing without being noticed . They have helped us to become aware of the new challenges , and sent us new ambitions .
These were the authors who have shaped the vision of the entire generation, which has live through the times of cardial change; change, which was seen as anarchy at the start of the 21 first century. They have turned our attention to the most burning questions of the previous era ; those questions , which the people , having lived through the world wars and unseen sufferings , was reluctant to face . Finally they were formulating the most important issue “How will we live in the world of future?”

The achievement of Joan Rowling can be named unique as she has found herself to be the first writer in the world to make $1 billion by authoring fairytales. She is today spending a huge part of her profit on charity, confronting poverty and illness. The idea of the book was invented while she was on the train from Manchester to London. When the publisher has first decided to print her book, she has awarded her 1500 pounds together with a friendly advice — to find a permanent job. He was incredulous of the fact that the young writer would be able to make a living off of writing books. Joann has demonstrated the opposite - having published a series of unparalleled fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading books.
