The achievement of Joan Rowling can be named unique as she has found herself to be the first author in the world to make $1 billion by authoring fairytales. She is now spending a considerable part of her money on charity, fighting poverty and diseases. The idea of the book was invented while she was on the train from Manchester to London. When the publisher has first decided to print her book, she has given her 1500 pounds together with a kind advice — to find a stable job. He was hesitant of the fact that the young writer would be able to make money of writing. Joann has showed the opposite - having written a number of exceptional fairytales, she has motivated the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading books.

They have been writing and bringing ideas exactly into the heads of the millions, and in this way were influencing the future. Thus, as we can see, these authors were not writing for enjoyment only, but they were also playing a significant part in creating the culture and the perception of a civilization of the 20th century.
