XX век

Бурный XX век породил революционные идеи и радикальные художественные движения, навсегда изменившие наш взгляд на самих себя и общество. Между мировыми войнами и социальными потрясениями писатели осмысляли экзистенциализм, поток сознания и нарастающую тень тоталитаризма в новаторских произведениях, определивших современную литературу.
