Authors of the 20th Century
Immediately after the cessation of the Second World War people began to feel that the world’s basic values are simple and logical . Both politics and social relations were counting on the thoughts of development, good innovations , faith in the logical , understanding , hi-tech innovations , and the ability to reason any phenomenon from a analytical point of view . Nevertheless , starting from the second half of the 60’s, the world began to change and currently , 40 years thereafter , we find ourselves in a new kind of existence .
We easily notice those innovations which are given us by new technology, but we infrequently realize the fact that there are concrete thoughts which the author has put behind those inventions . The core of the expected adjustment was first tracked by those people, who as a rule lived anteceding their time – poets and authors. Among the many authors whose books have served for entertainment , there have been a few who have given people a new picture of the future . They have more effectively than others other people formed and worded new ideas and have ultimately created formed a brand new intelligent and perceptual analysis of the future. They have noticed issues in the mundane of our lives and have shed light onto a array of problems, which were existing without being noted . They have aided us to think of the new problems , and sent us new aspirations .
These were the authors who have shaped the vision of the entire generation, which has taken the blow of cardial change; change, which was seen as disarray at the beginning of the 21 first century. They have made us focus our attention to the most vital issues of the past epoch ; those questions , which the people , having gone through the global wars and wild sufferings , was unwilling to face . Finally they were voicing the most important question “What will happen in the future”?
