The word ‘contemporary ‘ is very crucial in modern day world. This implies the belongingness of the equal time. When people say, they are contemporary this signifies they belong to the same time frame.

Reading contemporary literature is really amazing life experience because as a reader one comes to know what his/ her contemporary people are viewing the world. The contemporary writing reflects what others are thinking. When we read contemporary literature, we get into the familiarity of the other people's reactions to the present -day world and the course of life.

Great men say: Contemporary literature is the history of the present. Readers have the access to the yellow page history book in library. History is written records of past. We have easy access to past through history book. But contemporary literature creates the right passage to present history which is still in making.

Reading Contemporary Literature benefits the readers in many ways. May be by reading contemporary literature one will be able to smell the present day history which is going through the period of pains of its making.

Literature enriches a person with different perspectives of life, that changes from region to region. It orients with you ways of living and how life absorves political, social, economic and geographical realities, adapts or protests.

Literature reflects a life that is never static but dynamic inside and outside that sometimes you may not see and when it surfaces people are surprised, shocked and regretted depriving the voiceless.

It shows nobody is powerless, the powerless are often the most powerful to undermine your success, exposing the vulnerabilities and sufferings they undergo in silence. Especially, it is dangerous in national and international scales. Therefore the global leaders are pushing forward the ideology of “no one should be left behind” for achieving Sustainable Development Goals.

Since it is not history, it has it is more powerful and bold than history saying and predicting the future too.

A good book is a mirror of a country of a time of timeless time.

I believe and feel life is a precious gift with all its pains and success. It is endless every day with its possibilities.

Literature is one of the most significant ways to enrich one’s life. It provides knowledge of the world of today and the past. We learn about the lives of people who live in countries we will never visit. When reading we are unknowingly increasing our vocabularies. It gives us great pleasure while using very little effort. If one is ill,disabled or old and isolated it is our friend and companion. Life without literature would, in my opinion, be something to endure instead of enjoy.

Telling stories is to be human: we are a storytelling species. We will stay up at night telling ourselves stories. Literature lies at the core of my life, and my inner experience of the world. Such knowledge as I gain of other peoples lives in time and space often influences my thoughts, and my opinions on issues that I have not directly experienced myself, except in my imagination. Reading good books or writing them, allows an inner experience of the world that would take more than a hundred lifetimes. My point is that writing is thinking, and reading is to experience what others have or thought about. Though of course the great mass of Trump’s and also Morrison’s deployables will be watching fantasy TV on their devices or perhaps
watching, The Squid Game on Netflix.

Through literature, we develop emotional connections with characters and a shared community. We witness unparalleled kindness and terror. And though these experiences, we start to learn about ourselves and others. Reading the right passage can feel like the author knows us better than we know ourselves.

Literature is a portal into other people. It allows us to break down the doors of our culture, identity, and personal past. It brings us into close connection with others, allowing us to see all the horror, honor, and awe lurking in the human experience Literature allows a person to step back in time and learn about life on Earth from the ones who walked before us. We can gather a better understanding of culture and have a greater appreciation of them. We learn through the ways history is recorded, in the forms of manuscripts and through speech itself.
