English writer - how many do you know them?

If you ask for any averagea person to name any English writers, he is sure to be confused and will be able to remember at best one or two names. Although in fact he knows at least ten, he simply does not know that the homeland of many popular authors is Foggy Albion. Famous English writers are Daniel Defoe, Jane Austen, Herbert Wells, Robert Lewis Stevenson and many others. Familiar names? We know the books of these authors and remember them from childhood.

Modern English writers alsoare represented by a whole galaxy of famous names: Joan Rowling, Joe Akromberi, Stephen Fry, Jasper FForde - all authors are simply impossible to enumerate. And if you remember also classics such as William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, etc., you begin to understand that the inhabitants of our country read mostly works of Russian and English word masters.

English authors, whose works everyone should read:

1. John R. R. Tolkien is a famous English writer, whose books are recommended for all categories of readers. And do not just limit yourself to the "Lord of the Rings" and the "Hobbit". Perhaps you prefer a little fairy tale "Farmer Giles from Ham" - in it besides dragons and heroes there is a fair share of humor.

2. Arthur Conan Doyle is an English writer who created the most popular detective of all time. It is interesting that the author himself did not like his main character, but the readers fully appreciated the talent and intelligence of Sherlock Holmes from Baker Street and his permanent partner, Dr. Watson. Conan Doyle wrote many books about Sherlock, there were even more imitators and all sorts of sequels, but it's better to read the source.

3. Lewis Carroll - English writer, who created the most unusual tale. Many believe that "Alice in Wonderland" is a book exclusively for children. In fact, both the child and the adult will be able to appreciate and love this very original work in their own way, which found their calling a decade after publication.

4. Agatha Christie is the queen of the detective novel, and besides it is the most popular and sold writer for all the years of the existence of the printed word. Works of Agatha Christie are considered classic, and they, of course, are worth reading to all lovers of detectives, as well as just lovers of good books.

5. George Orwell is an English writer who gave the world the best anti-utopia. "Animal Farm" and the novel "1984" - books that can force a person to rethink the entire surrounding world. One quote - "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others", and the reader already looks at people around him differently.

6. Jane Austen, who gave the world the most wonderful "female" novel. Despite the criticism immediately after the publication of the book, where the work was called boring and mediocre, "Pride and Prejudice" is considered to be the best book by millions of readers.

These six writers were chosen randomly, and the numbers do not reflect any rating or top-the proposed authors are very different, and they can not be compared.
