1900-tallet
Det turbulente 1900-tallet fødte revolusjonære ideer og radikale kunstneriske bevegelser som for alltid endret hvordan vi ser oss selv og samfunnet. Mellom verdenskriger og sosial omveltning kjempet forfattere med eksistensialisme, bevissthetsstrøm og totalitarismens voksende skygger gjennom banebrytende verk som definerte moderne litteratur.
