Writers & hellip; In the XIX century they were called "rulers of thought" (AS Pushkin), because their creations had a huge impact on the minds of contemporaries. "The conscience of the people" was called, for example, FM Dostoevsky and LN Tolstoy. In the twentieth century, writers continued their mission: they denounced social inequality, spoke of the dangers of nascent totalitarianism, of "alienation" and loneliness in modern society. Kafka and Camus, Plato and Orwell, Sartre and Salinger wrote about this. And today, in the XXI century, writers in their work raise the most acute social and moral and ethical issues. Our book tells about the most famous representatives of world literature, about their work and destiny.
