20. sajand
Tormiline 20. sajand sünnitas revolutsioonilisi ideid ja radikaalseid kunstiliikumisi, mis muutsid igaveseks seda, kuidas me ennast ja ühiskonda näeme. Maailmasõdade ja ühiskondlike murrangute vahel maadlesid kirjanikud eksistentsialismi, teadvuse voolu ja totalitarismi kasvavate varjudega murrangulistes teostes, mis määratlesid kaasaegse kirjanduse.
